Dynamical Mean Field Theory of Collective Excitations — •Alexander Lichtenstein — University of Hamburg, Hamburg, Germany

Dynamical mean field theory (DMFT) in combination with the first-principle scheme is an optimal starting point to go beyond static density functional approximation and include effects of local spin, orbital and charge fluctuations. In order to investigate collective non-local excitations we formulate a general framework which start from the DMFT solution for strongly correlated materials within a numerically exact continuous-time Quantum Monte Carlo impurity solver[1] and use a dual-particle transformation in the path integral formalism to find an optimal diagrammatic series for the lattice Green functions.
