We generalize the dynamical-mean field (DMFT) approximation by including into the DMFT equations some length scale via a momentum dependent ``external'' self-energy S(k). This external self-energy describes non-local dynamical correlations…
Nonlocal correlations play an essential role in correlated electron systems, especially in the vicinity of phase transitions and crossovers, where two-particle correlation functions display a distinct momentum dependence. In nonequilibrium…
