On the dynamical kernels of fermionic equations of motion in strongly-correlated media

Two-point fermionic propagators in strongly-correlated media are considered with an emphasis on the dynamical interaction kernels of their equations of motion (EOM). With the many-body Hamiltonian confined by a two-body interaction, the EOMs for the two-point fermionic propagators acquire the Dyson form and, before taking any approximation, the interaction kernels decompose into the static and dynamical (time-dependent) contributions. The latter translate to the energy-dependent and the former map to the energy-independent terms in the energy domain. We dwell particularly on the energy-dependent terms, which generate long-range correlations while making feedback on their short-range static counterparts. The origin, forms, and various approximations for the dynamical kernels of one-fermion and two-fermion propagators, most relevant in the intermediate-coupling regime, are discussed. Applications to the electromagnetic dipole response of $^{68,70}$Ni and low-energy quadrupole response of $^{114,116,124}$Sn are presented.
