Electronic correlated systems are often well described by dynamical mean field theory (DMFT). While DMFT studies have mainly focused hitherto on one-particle properties, valuable information is also enclosed into local two-particle Greens functions and vertices. They represent the main ingredient to compute momentum-dependent response functions at the DMFT level and to treat non-local spatial correlations at all length scales by means of diagrammatic extensions of DMFT. The aim of this paper is to present a DMFT analysis of the local reducible and irreducible two-particle vertex functions for the Hubbard model in the context of an unified diagrammatic formalism. An interpretation of the observed frequency structures is also given in terms of perturbation theory, of the comparison with the atomic limit, and of the mapping onto the attractive Hubbard model.

Identifying the fingerprints of the Mott-Hubbard metal-insulator transition may be quite elusive in correlated metallic systems if the analysis is limited to the single particle level. However, our dynamical mean-field calculations demonstrate that the situation changes completely if the frequency dependence of the two-particle vertex functions is considered: The first non-perturbative precursors of the Mott physics are unambiguously identified well inside the metallic regime by the divergence of the local Bethe-Salpeter equation in the charge channel. At low temperatures this occurs in the region where incoherent high-energy features emerge in the spectral function, while at high temperatures it is traceable up to the atomic-limit.
We have investigated the effect of the long-range Coulomb interaction on the one-particle excitation spectrum of n-type Germanium, using tunneling spectroscopy on mechanically controllable break junctions. The tunnel conductance was measured as a function of energy and temperature. At low temperatures, the spectra reveal a minimum at zero bias voltage due to the Coulomb gap. In the temperature range above 1 K the Coulomb gap is filled by thermal excitations. This behavior is reflected in the temperature dependence of the variable-range hopping resitivity measured on the same samples: Up to a few degrees Kelvin the Efros-Shkovskii ln$R propto T^{-1/2}$ law is obeyed, whereas at higher temperatures deviations from this law are observed, indicating a cross-over to Motts ln$R propto T^{-1/4}$ law. The mechanism of this cross-over is different from that considered previously in the literature.
Cluster Perturbation Theory (CPT) is a computationally economic method commonly used to estimate the momentum and energy resolved single-particle Greens function. It has been used extensively in direct comparisons with experiments that effectively measure the single-particle Greens function, e.g., angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. However, many experimental observables are given by two-particle correlation functions. CPT can be extended to compute two-particle correlation functions by approximately solving the Bethe-Salpeter equation. We implement this method and focus on the transverse spin-susceptibility, measurable via inelastic neutron scattering or with optical probes of atomic gases in optical lattices. We benchmark the method with the one-dimensional Fermi-Hubbard model at half filling by comparing with known results.
Particle-hole symmetry in the lowest Landau level of the two-dimensional electron gas requires the electrical Hall conductivity to equal $pm e^2/2h$ at half-filling. We study the consequences of weakly broken particle-hole symmetry for magnetoresistance oscillations about half-filling in the presence of an applied periodic one-dimensional electrostatic potential using the Dirac composite fermion theory proposed by Son. At fixed electron density, the oscillation minima are asymmetrically biased towards higher magnetic fields, while at fixed magnetic field, the oscillations occur symmetrically as the electron density is varied about half-filling. We find an approximate sum rule obeyed for all pairs of oscillation minima that can be tested in experiment. The locations of the magnetoresistance oscillation minima for the composite fermion theory of Halperin, Lee, and Read (HLR) and its particle-hole conjugate agree exactly. Within the current experimental resolution, the locations of the oscillation minima produced by the Dirac composite fermion coincide with those of HLR. These results may indicate that all three composite fermion theories describe the same long wavelength physics.
An electronic quantity, the correlation strength, is defined as a necessary step for understanding the properties and trends in strongly correlated electronic materials. As a test case, this is applied to the different phases of elemental Pu. Within the GW approximation we have surprisingly found a universal scaling relationship, where the f-electron bandwidth reduction due to correlation effects is shown to depend only on the local density approximation bandwidth and is otherwise independent of crystal structure and lattice constant.
