We are reporting a new non-Fermi-liquid-type normal phase that has a well d
efined Fermi energy, but without showing any non-regularity in the momentum
distribution function nk in the whole momentum space, the sharp Fermi mome
ntum concept being undefinable. The system contains a natural builtin gap t
hat is visible in the physical properties of the system at nonzero temperat
ures. The presence of a flat band in multi-band interacting Fermi systems w
ith more than half filling is the key feature leading to such a ground stat
e, which is not restricted to one spatial dimension and emerges in the prox
imity of an insulating phase.
