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.
