Abstract
The wave vector and temperature-dependent static spin susceptibility, Xs(Q, T), of clean interacting Fermi systems is considered in dimensions 1 ≤ d ≤ 3. We show that at zero temperature Xs is a nonanalytic function of |Q|, with the leading nonanalyticity being |Q|d-1 for 1 < d < 3, and Q2ln|Q| for d = 3. For the homogeneous spin susceptibility we find a nonanalytic temperature dependence Td-1 for 1 < d < 3. We give qualitative mode-mode coupling arguments to that effect, and corroborate these arguments by a perturbative calculation to second order in the electron-electron interaction amplitude. The implications of this, in particular for itinerant ferromagnetism, are discussed. We also point out the relation between our findings and established perturbative results for one-dimensional systems, as well as for the temperature dependence of Xs(Q = 0) in d = 3.
