Abstract

We calculate the vertex corrections within a model for fermion quasiparticles coupled with charge and spin fluctuations, which provide the relevant scattering mechanism near the stripe instability in high- [Formula presented] cuprates. The logarithmic divergence of the vertex, which characterizes the spin-fermion model near the antiferromagnetic instability, is ruled out, due to the incommensuration of the charge and spin modulation within the stripe phase, as revealed by neutron scattering. This simplifies the skeleton structure of the problem. The vertex is negative in the relevant kinematical regime, effectively reducing the interaction strength. Our results apply to generic incommensurate instabilities of electronic origin.
