Title	Pomeranchuk instability: symmetry breaking and experimental signatures
Contributors	J Quintanilla (STFC Rutherford Appleton Lab.), C Hooley (St Andrews U.), BJ Powell (Queensland U.), AJ Schofield (Birmingham U.), M Haque (Max Planck Inst.)
Abstract	We discuss the emergence of symmetry-breaking via the Pomeranchuk instability from interactions that respect the underlying point-group symmetry. We use a variational mean-field theory to consider a 2D continuum and a square lattice. We describe two experimental signatures: a symmetry-breaking pattern of Friedel oscillations around an impurity; and a structural transition.
