Abstract

We study the properties of Fermi Liquids with the microscopic constraint of a local self-energy. In this case the forward scattering sum-rule imposes strong limitations on the Fermi-Liquid parameters, which rule out any Pomeranchek instabilities. For both attractive and repulsive interactions, ferromagnetism and phase separation are suppressed. Superconductivity is possible in an s-wave channel only. We also study the approach to the metal-insulator transition, and find a Wilson ratio approaching 2. This ratio and other properties of Sr1-xLaxTiO3 are all consistent with the local Fermi Liquid scenario.
