Friedel oscillations in a two dimensional Fermi liquid

Within linear response the long range oscillations caused by short or long ranged impurities embedded in an otherwise homogeneous electron gas reflect the singularities of the static response function. By making use of the theory of the many-body local fields and the results of recent quantum Monte Carlo studies we have calculated the exact dependence of the amplitude of these oscillations on the density in a two dimensional electron Fermi liquid.
