It is well known that mean-field theories fail to reproduce the experimentally known critical exponents. The traditional argument which explain this failure of mean-field theories near a critical point is the Ginsburg criterion in which…
The "theoretical limit of time-frequency resolution in Fourier analysis" is thought to originate in certain mathematical and/or physical limitations. This, however, is not true. The actual origin arises from the numerical (technical) method…
A simple and very flexible variational approach to the out-of-equilibrium quantum dynamics in strongly correlated electron systems is introduced through a time-dependent Gutzwiller wavefunction. As an application, we study the simple case…
In this work, we study the extended Falicov-Kimball model at half-filling within the Hartree-Fock approach (HFA) (for various crystal lattices) and compare the results obtained with the rigorous ones derived within the dynamical mean field…
We consider spin systems with long-range interactions in nonadditive regime. When the non-additive scaling limit is employed, the energy and the entropy compete and the system exhibits some phase transitions. Such systems do not satisfy the…
We consider the time evolution of a system of $N$ identical bosons whose interaction potential is rescaled by $N^{-1}$. We choose the initial wave function to describe a condensate in which all particles are in the same one-particle state.…
We present a generalized dynamical mean-field approach for the nonequilibrium physics of a strongly correlated system in the presence of a time-dependent external field. The Keldysh Green's function formalism is used to study the…
While Hartree-Fock theory is well established as a fundamental approximation for interacting fermions, it has been unclear how to describe corrections to it due to many-body correlations. In this paper we start from the Hartree-Fock state…
This review presents a concise, yet comprehensive discussion on the evolution of theoretical methods employed to determine the ground and excited states of molecules in weak and strong magnetic fields. The weak-field cases have been studied…
The reliability of the mean-field approach to polymer statistical mechanics is investigated by comparing results from a recently developed lattice mean-field theory (LMFT) method to statistically exact results from two independent numerical…
Standard density functional approximations often give questionable results for odd-electron radical complexes, with the error typically attributed to self-interaction. In density corrected density functional theory (DC-DFT), certain classes…
In this article, we consider quantum crystals with defects in the reduced Hartree-Fock framework. The nuclei are supposed to be classical particles arranged around a reference periodic configuration. The perturbation is assumed to be small…
A method is presented for numerical implementation of the extended TDHF theory in which two-body correlations beyond the mean-field approximation are incorporated in the form of a quantal collision term. The method is tested in a model…
We prove the existence of solutions of the reduced Hartree-Fock equations at finite temperature for a periodic crystal with a small defect, and show total screening of the defect charge by the electrons. We also show the convergence of the…
The crucial step in density-corrected Hartree-Fock density functional theory (DC(HF)-DFT) is to decide whether the density produced by the density functional for a specific calculation is erroneous and hence should be replaced by, in this…
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…
Simple elastic models of spin-crossover compounds are known empirically to exhibit classical critical behavior. We demonstrate how the long-ranged interactions responsible for this behavior arise naturally upon integrating out mechanical…
We study a free scalar field $\phi$ in a fixed curved background spacetime subject to a higher derivative field equation of the form $F(\Box)\phi =0$, where $F$ is a polynomial of the form $F(\Box)= \prod_i (\Box-m_i^2)$ and all masses…
The study of nonequilibrium phenomena in correlated lattice systems has developed into an active and exciting branch of condensed matter physics. This research field provides rich new insights that could not be obtained from the study of…
Mean-field reinforcement learning (MF-RL) scales multi-agent RL to large populations by reducing each agent's dependence on others to a single summary statistic -- the mean action. However, this reduction requires every agent to act at…
