Fully {it ab-initio} electronic structure of Ca$_{2}$RuO$_{4}$

The reliable {it ab-initio} description of strongly correlated materials is a long-sought capability in condensed matter physics. The $GW$+EDMFT method is a promising scheme, which provides a self-consistent description of correlations and screening, and does not require user-provided parameters. In order to test the reliability of this approach we apply it to the experimentally well characterized perovskite compound Ca$_2$RuO$_4$, in which a temperature-dependent structural deformation drives a paramagnetic metal-insulator transition. Our results demonstrate that the nonlocal polarization and self-energy components introduced by $GW$ are essential for setting the correct balance between interactions and bandwidths, and that the $GW$+EDMFT scheme produces remarkably accurate predictions of the electronic properties of this strongly correlated material.
