Summary
Strongly Correlated Electron Systems require a new starting point or (non-Gaussian) reference system for their description.
DMFT provides such a reference frame, mapping the full many body problem on the lattice to a much simpler system, a quantum impurity model in a self consistent medium. DMFT a first stab at a problem.

Summary Application. Pressure and temperature driven Mott
transition. Universal aspects of the Mott transition in transition metal oxides.
Three peak structure in the one particle density of states. QP and Hubbard bands. Mott transition is driven by transfer of spectral weight [non rigid band picture ].
Low energy quasiparticle coherence scale.Coherence-incoherent crossover. Place where gap
closure occurs differs from the place where coherence disappears. Uc1 vs Uc2.

Summary
Zeroth order picture to confront with experiments in a wide range of materials.
Realistic extensions. Interface with band theory. Illustrate with the physics of actinides.
Plaquette as a reference frame. Cluster DMFT. Superconductivity as a result
of proximity to a Mott insulator singlet state [Anderson’s RVB picture ]

Localization vs Delocalization Strong Correlation Problem
•A large number of compounds with electrons in partially filled shells, are not close to the well understood limits (localized or itinerant). Non perturbative problem.•These systems display anomalous behavior (departure from the standard model of solids).•Neither LDA or LDA+U or Hartree Fock work well.•Dynamical Mean Field Theory: Simplest approach to electronic structure, which interpolates correctly between atoms and bands. Treats QP bands and Hubbard bands.

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 , GW, etc. are used)

Basic competition between kinetic energy and Coulomb interactions.
One needs a tool that treats quasiparticle bands and Hubbard bands on the same footing to contain the band and atomic limit.
The approach should allow to incorporate material specific information.
When the neither the band or the atomic description applies, a new reference point for thinking about correlated electrons is needed.

Strongly Correlated Electrons and DMFT. The challenge (besides learning to solve the
DMFT equations more accurately or more explicitly) is to identify which strong correlation phenomena can be capture from a local DMFT perspective using sites, linkes, plaquettes, etc as reference systems, and which aspects involve non local and non Gaussian fluctuations.

Conclusion.
An electronic model accounts for all the qualitative features of the finite temperature of a frustrated system at integer occupancy.
The electronic degrees of freedom rather than the lattice drives the transition.
THE STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW JERSEY
RUTGERS
Conclusion
Single site DMFT describes the main features of the experiments at high temperatures using a simple model.
Made non trivial predictions. Finite temperature conclusions are robust.
At low temperatures clusters will bring refinements of this picture.
