Low-temperature properties of an almost-localized Fermi liquid

Abstract
We calculate the low-temperature corrections to the properties of an almost-localized Fermi liquid in the normal phase caused by the temperature-dependent renormalization of the quasiparticle bandwidth. Our approach provides a natural extension to finite temperatures of the theory of correlated electron systems devised by Brinkman and Rice. Applications to (V1x Tix )2 O3, heavy fermions, and liquid He3 are briefly discussed. The importance of intersite correlations is stressed and discussed in physical terms.
