Low-energy behavior of spin-liquid electron spectral functions

We calculate the electron spectral function for a spin liquid with a spinon Fermi surface and a Dirac spin liquid. Calculations are based upon the slave-rotor mean-field theory. We consider the effect of gauge fluctuations using a simple model and find the behavior is not strongly modified. The resu...
