Outline Pedagogical Introduction to DMFT for correlated electron
systems, parallel with DFT GW .[R. Chitra , P Sun, S. Savrasov and GK]
How good is the local approximation ? a) a brief look at some recent experiments. b) compare with exact results in one dimension. c) look at corrections. What new effects do cluster corrections
bring on top of single site DMFT ? Some answerson a model of kappa organics (O. Parcollet G. Biroli and GK) Some system specific calculations for materials near the Mott
transition: La1-x Srx TiO3 , , Pu………

Kohn Sham Greens function is an good point to compute spectra in perturbation theory in screenedCoulomb interaction GW,G0W0
Practical implementations, introduce a finite basis set.
Division into valence (active ) degrees of freedom and core.

DFT+GW program has been less succesful in correlated situations.
Strong interactions localize the particles. Atoms with open shells are not easily connected to band theory.
The spectrum in this case, contain Hubbard bands which are NOT simply perturbatively connected to the Kohn Sham orbitals.
Need an alternative reference point for doing perturbation theory!
Need to treat bands and atomic excitations on the same footing.
DMFT!

RUTGERS
Strongly correlated systems are usually treated with model Hamiltonians
Conceptually one wants to restrict the number of degrees of freedom by eliminating high energy degrees of freedom.
In practice other methods (eg constrained LDA are used)

The exact formalism generates the local Greens function and ii is NOT the self energy. However one can use the approach as starting point for computing other quantities.

Comments on funct. construction.
Construction of approximations in the cluster case requires care to maintain causality.
One good approximate construction is the cellular DMFT: a) take a supercell of the desired range,b)

AF = Få c) obtain estimate of the lattice self energy by restoring translational symmetry. Many other cluster approximations (eg. DCA, the use of lattice self energy in
self consitency condition, restrictions of BK functional, etc. exist). Causality and classical limit of these methods has recently been clarified [ G Biroli O Parcollet and GK]

Mapping onto impurity models.
The local Greens function A, and the auxilliary quantity can be computed from the solution of an impurity model that describes the effects of the rest of the lattice on the on a selected central site.
One can arrive at the same concept via the cavity construction.

How good is the local approximation ? Single site DMFT study of the Mott
transition, based on a study of the Hubbard model on frustrated lattices made several interesting qualitative predictions.
New experiments and reexamination of old ones give credence to that the local picture is quite good.

Conclusions
DMFT as an EXACT first principles theory. Analogy with density functional theory.
DMFT as an approximation. For many problems the local approximation (local=single site , link or paquette ) is unexpectedely accurate.
Many applications to materials. S. Savrasov’s talk + many other talks in this workshop!
