  2. Motivation. Spin fermion model of Rosch et. al. does it describe the data ? ( S. Pankov, S. Florens, A. Georges ) EDMFT-QMC calculations for the Anderson Lattice model ( P. Sun). Conclusion. . THE STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW JERSEY RUTGERS

  3. High temperatures local moments and conduction electrons. Low temperatures, TK >> JRKKY , a heavy Fermi liquid forms. The quasiparticles are composites of conduction electrons and spins. Heavy quasiparticles absorb the spin entropy. Low temperatures TK << JRKKY the moments order. AF state. Spin ordering absorbs the spin entropy.

  12. ds+z=4 marginally irrelevant coupling. Strictly speaking no E/T scaling, and Asymptotically scaling functions are all mean field like but can the corrections to scaling mimmick and effective exponent ? Answer: S. Pankov, S. Florens A. Georges and GK NO. The leading correction to scaling produce an effective exponent a eff > 1 Does the 2d spin+ 3d fermion model account for the anomalous damping of the spin fluctuations?

  20. DMFT: Effective Action point of view.R. Chitra and G. Kotliar Phys Rev. B.(2000), (2001). • Identify observable, A. Construct an exact functional of <A>=a, G [a] which is stationary at the physical value of a. • Example, density in DFT theory. (Fukuda et. al.) • When a is local, it gives an exact mapping onto a local problem, defines a Weiss field. • The method is useful when practical and accurate approximations to the exact functional exist. Example: LDA, GGA, in DFT. • It is useful to introduce a Lagrange multiplier l conjugate to a, G [a, l ]. • It gives as a byproduct a additional lattice information.

  21. Observable: Local Greens function Gii (w). Exact functional G [Gii (w) ]. DMFT Approximation to the functional. Example: DMFT for lattice model (e.g. single band Hubbard). THE STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW JERSEY RUTGERS

  22. Observable: Local Greens function Gii (w). Local spin spin or charge charge correlation P (w). Exact functional G [Gii (w) P (w). ]. EDMFT Approximation by keeping only local graphs in the Baym Kadanoff functional. “Best” “local “ approximation, targeted to the observable that one wants to compute. Natural extension to treat phases with long range order. [Chitra and Kotlar PRB 2000] Example: EDMFT THE STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW JERSEY RUTGERS
