Abstract
A weak coupling theory of extended Van Hove Singularity (VHS) is developed. Effects of
interaction are so strong that the VHS cannot be reached from the Fermi liquid side and a whole area
in energy-momentum space around it is occupied by a non-Fermi liquid. Phenomenology of the non-Fermi
liquid is discussed including the possibility that the non-Fermi liquid is a separate thermodynamic
phase.
