    Abstract

    The three-dimensional (3D) Fermi surface, along with a chiral in-gap state and a Majorana zero-energy state, is suggested to play a crucial role in the topologically nontrivial superconductivity in UTe2. However, conflicting experimental observations of the two-dimensional (2D) Fermi surface raise questions about topological superconductivity. By combining ab initio many-body perturbation GW theory and dynamical mean field theory based on Feynman diagrams, we discovered the coexistence of two orbital dependent Fermi surfaces, both centered at the Γ point in the Brillouin zone, which are heavily influenced by the orbital selective Kondo effect. At high temperature, both Fermi surfaces exhibit 3D nature with weak spectral weight due to incoherent Kondo hybridization. Upon cooling down to 25 K, due to the pronounced Kondo coherence, while one Fermi surface remains a robust 3D Fermi surface, the other transforms surprisingly into a quasi-2D Fermi surface, which should be responsible for the experimental observation of 2D character. Our results suggest that the 3D Fermi surface should exist at low temperature for the topological superconductivity. Our findings call for further investigation of the interplay between the two orbital-dependent Γ-centered Fermi surfaces.
