Correlated electron systems often show strong bosonic fluctuations, e.g., of antiferromagnetic nature, around a large wave vector such as $\mathbf{q}=(\pi,\pi\ldots)$. These fluctuations can give rise to vertex corrections to the optical…
Vertex corrections from the transversal particle-hole channel, so-called $\pi$-tons, are generic in models for strongly correlated electron systems and can lead to a displaced Drude peak (DDP). Here, we derive the analytical expression for…

Scattering by slowly fluctuating degrees of freedom can cause a transient localization of the current-carrying electrons in metals, driving the system away from normal metallic behavior. We illustrate and characterize this general…
We study numerically and partly diagrammatically the renormalization of the electron-spin interaction or vertex in a two-dimensional one-band Hubbard model with spin-fluctuation momentum transfer ${\vv q}=(\pi,\pi)$. We find that the…
The interaction of light with solids gives rise to new bosonic quasiparticles, with the exciton being---undoubtedly---the most famous of these polaritons. While excitons are the generic polaritons of semiconductors, we show that for…
We have calculated the optical conductivity and the Raman response for the d-density wave model, proposed as a possible explanation for the pseudogap seen in high Tc cuprates. The total optical spectral weight remains approximately constant…
Based on an equations--of--motion approach for time--dependent pair correlations in strongly interacting Fermi liquids, we have developed a theory for describing the excitation spectrum of these systems. Compared to the known ``correlated''…
