  1. The recently discovered kagome net compounds AV3Sb5( A =  K, Rb, and Cs) become superconducting on cooling, in addition to displaying interesting topological features in the electronic structure. They also exhibit charge density wave ordering, which manifests as a breathing-mode distortion in the kagome layers. It has been suggested that such ordering derives from nesting between saddle points on the Fermi surface. In aid of the evolving understanding of this intriguing materials class, we present calculations of Fermi surface nesting and Lindhard susceptibility of CsV3Sb5. The breathing mode distortions appear to not display a simple link with Fermi surface nesting (FSN) and do not display the signatures of a Peierls-like transition. The FSN is agnostic to changes along kzand is only mildly impacted by small shifts of the Fermi level. The results suggest that FSN is largely independent of specific features in the saddle point.
