[Fermi Liquid Theory and Kohn Sham DFT+GW ] • Partially filled f and d shells, some organic materials. • Spectacular “big” effects. High temperature superconductivity, colossal magneto-resistance, huge volume collapses…………….. • Anomalous physical properties, large resistivities. Breakdown of the rigid band picture. Non trivial evolution of spectral functions.

10. Open Problems Controversial Issues • What is the mechanism for high temperature superconductivity. Why is realized in the copper oxides? • What are the essential low energy degrees of freedom to describe the physics of these materials at a given energy scale? • Proper reference frame for understanding the correlated solid.

12. RVB phase diagram of the Cuprate Superconductors. Superexchange. • The approach to the Mott insulator renormalizes the kinetic energy Trvb increases. • The proximity to the Mott insulator reduce the charge stiffness , TBE goes to zero. • Superconducting dome. Pseudogap evolves continously into the superconducting state. G. Kotliar and J. Liu Phys.Rev. B 38,5412 (1988) Related approach using wave functions:T. M. Rice group. Zhang et. al. Supercond Scie Tech 1, 36 (1998, Gross Joynt and Rice (1986) M. Randeria N. Trivedi , A. Paramenkanti PRL 87, 217002 (2001)

13. PWA:Nature Physics 2, 138 (2006) It has been my (published) opinion for years that the cause of high-temperature superconductivity is no mystery. We now have a workable theory — not just for calculating the broad outlines (the transition temperature Tc, energy-gap shape, effect of doping, pseudogap temperature) but details of the anomalous phenomenology. A crude version of this theory was published in 1988 by Zhang and co-authors (Supercond. Sci. Technol. 1, 36–38; 1988), based partly on my earlier ideas, and in a similar paper, Kotliar and Liu came to the same conclusions independently (Phys. Rev. B 38, 5142–5145; 1988). But the successes weren't then recognized because experiments were too primitive.

14. Problems with the approach. • Neel order. How to continue a Neel insulating state ? Need to treat properly finite T. • Temperature dependence of the penetration depth [Wen and Lee , Ioffe and Millis ] . Theory:r[T]=x-Ta x2 , Exp: r[T]= x-T a. • Doping and polarization dependence of the Raman scattering intensity. [LeTacon et.al. 2006] • Mean field is too uniform on the Fermi surface, in contradiction with ARPES. • Difficulties in describing quantitavely the incoherent regime. Develoment of cluster DMFT may solve some of these problems.!!

15. Approach • Leave out inhomogeneous states and ignore disorder. • Study minimal model of a doped Mott insulator to understand the electronic structure in that regime. • Approach the problem directly from finite temperatures,not from zero temperature. Address issues of finite frequency –temperature crossovers. • Compare with experiments. Reconsider. • CDMFT has made this program feasible. Reference frame describes coherent and incoherent regimes on the same footing. • The framework and the resulting equations are very non trivial to solve and to interpret. Very exciting time.
