Self-energy-functional theory for systems of interacting electrons with disorder
Based on a functional-integral formalism, a generalization of the self-energy-functional theory (SFT) is proposed which is applicable to systems of interacting electrons with disorder. Similar to the pure case without disorder, a variational principle is set up which gives the physical (disorder) self-energy as a stationary point of the (averaged) grand potential. Although the resulting self-en...
متن کاملDynamical mean-field theory and electronic structure calculations
We formulate the dynamical mean field theory directly in the continuum. For a given definition of the local Green’s function, we show the existence of a unique functional, whose stationary point gives the physical local Green’s function of the solid. We present the diagrammatic rules to calculate it perturbatively in the interaction. Approximations which may be used in the strong coupling regim...
متن کاملVariational cluster approach to correlated electron systems in low dimensions.
A self-energy-functional approach is applied to construct cluster approximations for correlated lattice models. It turns out that the cluster-perturbation theory [Phys. Rev. Lett. 84, 522 (2000)]] and the cellular dynamical mean-field theory [Phys. Rev. Lett. 87, 186401 (2001)]] are limiting cases of a more general cluster method. The results for the one-dimensional Hubbard model are discussed ...
متن کاملCluster dynamical mean-field theories: Causality and classical limit
Cluster dynamical mean field theories are analyzed in terms of their semiclassical limit and their causality properties, and a translation invariant formulation of the cellular dynamical mean-field theory, periodized cluster dynamical mean-field theory ~PCDMFT!, is presented. The semiclassical limit of the cluster methods is analyzed by applying them to the Falikov-Kimball model in the limit of...
متن کاملDynamical Variational Principles for Strongly Correlated Electron Systems
The self-energy-functional approach (SFA) is discussed in the context of different variational principles for strongly correlated electron systems. Formal analogies between static and dynamical variational approaches, different types of approximation strategies and the relations to density-functional and dynamical mean-field theory are emphasized. The discussion elucidates the strengths of the ...
