Nonlocal correlation effects in fermionic many-body systems : Overcoming the noncausality problem

Backes, Steffen ; Sim, Jae Hoon and Biermann, Silke LU (2022) In Physical Review B 105(24).
Abstract

Motivated by the intriguing physics of quasi-two-dimensional fermionic systems, such as high-temperature superconducting oxides, layered transition metal chalcogenides, or surface or interface systems, the development of many-body computational methods geared at including both local and nonlocal electronic correlations has become a rapidly evolving field. It has been realized, however, that the success of such methods can be hampered by the emergence of noncausal features in the effective or observable quantities involved. Here, we present an approach wherein local many-body techniques such as dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) are extended to nonlocal correlations and interactions, which preserves causality and has a physically...

Motivated by the intriguing physics of quasi-two-dimensional fermionic systems, such as high-temperature superconducting oxides, layered transition metal chalcogenides, or surface or interface systems, the development of many-body computational methods geared at including both local and nonlocal electronic correlations has become a rapidly evolving field. It has been realized, however, that the success of such methods can be hampered by the emergence of noncausal features in the effective or observable quantities involved. Here, we present an approach wherein local many-body techniques such as dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) are extended to nonlocal correlations and interactions, which preserves causality and has a physically intuitive interpretation. Our strategy has implications for the general class of DMFT-inspired many-body methods and can be adapted to cluster, dual boson, or dual fermion techniques with minimal effort.
