In this paper a fast impurity solver is proposed for dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) based on a decoupling of the equations of motion for the impurity Green's function. The resulting integral equations are solved efficiently with a method based on genetic algorithms. The Hubbard and periodic Anderson models are studied with this impurity solver. The method describes the Mott metal-insulator transition and works for a large range of parameters at finite temperature on the real frequency axis. This makes it useful for the exploration of real materials in the framework of local-density $\text{approximation}+\text{DMFT}$ .In this paper a fast impurity solver is proposed for dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) based on a decoupling of the equations of motion for the impurity Green's function.

Decoupling method for dynamical mean-field theory calculations

Harald O. Jeschke, Gabriel Kotliar

In this paper we explore the use of an equation of motion decoupling method as an impurity solver to be used in conjunction with the dynamical mean field self-consistency condition for the solution of lattice models. We benchmark the impurity solver against exact diagonalization, and apply the method to study the infinite $U$ Hubbard model, the periodic Anderson model and the $pd$ model. This simple and numerically efficient approach yields the spectra expected for strongly correlated materials, with a quasiparticle peak and a Hubbard band. It works in a large range of parameters, and therefore can be used for the exploration of real materials using the local density approximation and dynamical mean field theory.In this paper we explore the use of an equation of motion decoupling method as an impurity solver to be used in conjunction with the dynamical mean field self-consistency condition for the solution of lattice models.
