We propose a model intended to qualitatively capture the electron-electron interaction physics of two-dimensional electron gases formed near transition-metal oxide heterojunctions containing $t_{ 2g}$ electrons with a density much smaller than one electron per metal atom. Two-dimensional electron systems of this type can be described perturbatively using a $GW$ approximation which predicts that Coulomb interactions enhance quasiparticle effective masses more strongly than in simple two-dimensional electron gases, and that they reshape the Fermi surface, reducing its anisotropy.
