For a significant range of parameters, the instability is found to be pre-empted by a first-order quantum phase transition. We provide the ground state phase diagram in terms of our generic parameters.9 pages, 3 figuresStrongly Correlated ElectronsStatistical MechanicsSymmetry-breaking Fermi surface deformations from central interactions in two dimensionstext
