    Abstract

    Motivated by the sensitivity of Sr2RuO4 to Fermi surface reconstructions under strain, we investigate how Fermi surface geometry and Van Hove singularities influence the optical Hall response and polar Kerr effect. Within a three-orbital model, we explore the impact of chemical potential and interlayer hopping on superconducting pairing and response functions. We find that dx2−y2 and dx2−y2+ig symmetries are the leading candidates for the quasi-two-dimensional (quasi-2D) orbital, while a chiral p-wave state in quasi-1D orbitals is essential for generating an accessible Kerr angle. The Lifshitz transition is shown to affect coherence factors and density-of-states peaks, producing sharp signatures in Tc and optical transport. Interorbital charge transfer further enhances these effects by modifying the balance between the contributions of the quasi-1D and quasi-2D orbitals. These results provide a framework for interpreting Kerr effect experiments in multiorbital superconductors.
