Abstract

In this lecture, a slightly in-depth introduction to dynamical mean field theory (DMFT) will be followed by its extensions to disordered, layered, nano-systems and integration with density functional theory based approaches to describe real materials. DMFT neglects non-local dynamical fluctuations, which can be incorporated through cluster extensions, such as dynamical cluster approximation (DCA) and cluster-DMFT.
