Connection between cluster and lattice self energy.
The estimation of the lattice self energy in terms of the cluster energy
has to be done using additional information Ex. Translation invariance
•C-DMFT is manifestly causal: causal impurity solvers result in causal self energies and Green functions (GK S. Savrasov G. Palsson and G. Biroli)•Improved estimators for the lattice self energy are available (Biroli and Kotliar)•In simple cases C-DMFT converges faster than other causal cluster schemes.

Spectral Density Functional
The exact functional can be built in perturbation theory in the interaction (well defined diagrammatic rules )The functional can also be constructed from the atomic limit, but no explicit expression exists.
DFT is useful because good approximations to the exact density functional DFT(r)] exist, e.g. LDA, GGA
A useful approximation to the exact functional can be constructed, the DMFT +LDA functional.

Comments on LDA+DMFT
• Static limit of the LDA+DMFT functional , with = HF reduces to LDA+U
• Removes inconsistencies of this approach,
• Only in the orbitally ordered Hartree Fock limit, the Greens function of the heavy electrons is fully coherent
• Gives the local spectra and the total energy simultaneously, treating QP and H bands on the same footing.

Functional Approach
The functional approach offers a direct connection to the atomic energies. One is free to add terms which vanish quadratically at the saddle point.
Allows us to study states away from the saddle points,
All the qualitative features of the phase diagram, are simple consequences of the non analytic nature of the functional.
Mott transitions and bifurcations of the functional .

Delocalization-Localization across the actinide series
o f electrons in Th Pr U Np are itinerant . From Am on they are localized. Pu is at the boundary.
o Pu has a simple cubic fcc structure,the phase which is easily stabilized over a wide region in the T,p phase diagram.
o The phase is non magnetic.o Many LDA , GGA studies ( Soderlind
et. Al 1990, Kollar et.al 1997, Boettger et.al 1998, Wills et.al. 1999) give an equilibrium volume of the an equilibrium volume of the phasephaseIs 35% lower than Is 35% lower than experimentexperiment
o This is one of the largest discrepancy ever known in DFT based calculations.

Problems with LDA
LSDA predicts magnetic long range order which is not observed experimentally (Solovyev et.al.)
If one treats the f electrons as part of the core LDA overestimates the volume by 30%
Notice however that LDA predicts correctly the volume of the phase of Pu, when full potential LMTO (Soderlind Eriksson and Wills). This is usually taken as an indication that Pu is a weakly correlated system

Conventional viewpoint
Alpha Pu is a simple metal, it can be described with LDA + correction. In contrast delta Pu is strongly correlated.
Constrained LDA approach (Erickson, Wills, Balatzki, Becker). In Alpha Pu, all the 5f electrons are treated as band like, while in Delta Pu, 4 5f electrons are band-like while one 5f electron is deloclized.
Same situation in LDA + U (Savrasov andGK Bouchet et. al. [Bouchet’s talk]) .Delta Pu has U=4,Alpha Pu has U =0.

Problems with the conventional viewpoint of Pu
The specific heat of delta Pu, is only twice as big as that of alpha Pu.
The susceptibility of alpha Pu is in fact larger than that of delta Pu.
The resistivity of alpha Pu is comparable to that of delta Pu.
Only the structural and elastic properties are completely different.

Dynamical Mean Field View of Pu(Savrasov Kotliar and Abrahams, Nature 2001)
Delta and Alpha Pu are both strongly correlated, the DMFT mean field free energy has a double well structure, for the same value of U. One where the f electron is a bit more localized (delta) than in the other (alpha).
Is the natural consequence of the model hamiltonian phase diagram once electronic structure is about to vary.
This result resolves one of the basic paradoxes in the physics of Pu.

Magnetic anisotropy puzzle. LDA predicts the incorrect easy axis for Nickel .(instead of 111)
LDA Fermi surface has features which are not seen in DeHaas Van Alphen ( Lonzarich)

Origin of Magnetic Anisotropy
Spin orbit coupling L.S L is a variable which is sensitive
to correlations, a reminder of the atomic physics
Crystal fields quench L, interactions enhance it,
T2g levels carry moment, eg levels do not any redistribution of these no matter how small will affect L.
Both J and U matter !

Conclusion
The character of the localization delocalization in simple( Hubbard) models within DMFT is now fully understood, nice qualitative insights.
This has lead to extensions to more realistic models, and a beginning of a first principles approach interpolating between atoms and band, encouraging results for simple elements

Systematic improvements, short range correlations.
Take a cluster of sites, include the effect of the rest in a G0 (renormalization of the quadratic part of the effective action). What to take for G0:

include the effects of the electrons to renormalize the quartic part of the action (spin spin , charge charge correlations) E. DMFT (Kajueter and GK, Si et.al)
