It is shown that the Kadanoff-Baym equations at consistent first-order gradient approximation reveal exact rather than approximate conservation laws related to global symmetries of the system. The conserved currents and energy-momentum…
Weak-coupling conserving approximations can be constructed by truncations of the Luttinger-Ward functional and are well known as thermodynamically consistent approaches which respect macroscopic conservation laws as well as certain sum…

The Hubbard model is a prototype for strongly correlated many-particle systems, including electrons in condensed matter and molecules, as well as for fermions or bosons in optical lattices. While the equilibrium properties of these systems…

Using a separable many-body variational wavefunction, we formulate a self-consistent effective Hamiltonian theory for fermionic many-body system. The theory is applied to the two-dimensional Hubbard model as an example to demonstrate its…
A long-standing problem with the many-body approximations for interacting condensed bosons has been the dichotomy between the ``conserving'' and ``gapless'' approximations, which either obey the conservations laws or satisfy the…
Parquet diagrams sum self-consistently Feynman graphs for the vertex function with all two-particle multiple scatterings. We show how the complete parquet equations for the Hubbard-like models can be integrated to a generating functional…
The two-particle self-consistent approach (TPSC) is a method for the one-band Hubbard model that can be both numerically efficient and reliable. However, TPSC fails to yield physical results deep in the renormalized classical regime of the…
The diagrammatic analysis of interacting particle assemblies harbors a fundamental mismatch between two of its main implementations: Phi-derivable (conserving) approximations and parquet (crossing symmetric) models. No termwise expansion,…

Finite difference schemes that preserve two conservation laws of a given partial differential equation can be found directly by a recently-developed symbolic approach. Until now, this has been used only for equations with quadratic…
