Renormalization-group approach to the normal phase of two-dimensional Fermi gases

We present results on the effect of short-range, attractive interactions on the properties of balanced tw-dimensional Fermi gases in the nonsuperfluid (normal) phase. Our approach combines the renormalization group (RG) with perturbation theory, yielding observables such as the equation of state and compressibility. We find good agreement with recent experiments that measured the equation of state in trapped gases in the balanced regime, showing that these results are consistent with logarithmic corrections in the equation of state.
