Here σ is a spin index and εF is the Fermi energy. The single-electron energy
ε(p) would be p2/2m for a free electron, but in the spirit of writing down the
most general possible action we make no assumption about its form.5 The
ground state of this theory is the Fermi sea, with all states ε(p) < εF filled
and all states ε(p) > εF empty. The Fermi surface is defined by ε(p) = εF.
Low lying excitations are obtained by adding an electron just above the Fermi
surface, or removing one (producing a hole) just below, as shown in figure 1.
Now we need to ask how the fields behave as we scale all energies by a
factor s < 1. In the relativistic case, the momentum scaled with the energy,5A possible p-dependent coefficient in the time-derivative term has been absorbed into
the normalization of ψσ(p).
