Non-perturbative saddle point for the effective action of disordered and interacting electrons in 2D

We find a non-perturbative saddle-point solution for the non-linear sigma model proposed by Finkelstein for interacting and disordered electronic systems. Spin rotation symmetry, present in the original saddle point solution, is spontaneously broken at one-loop, as in the Coleman-Weinberg mechanism. The new solution is singular in both the disorder and triplet interaction strengths, and it also explicitly demonstrates that a non-trivial ferromagnetic state appears in a theory where the disorder average is carried out from the outset.
