We address an issue of how to accurately include the self energy effect of the screened electron-electron Coulomb interaction in the phonon-mediated superconductors from first principles. In the Eliashberg theory for superconductors, self energy is usually decomposed using the $2times 2$ Pauli matrices in the electron-hole space. We examine how the diagonal ($sigma_{0}$ and $sigma_{3}$) components, which results in the quasiparticle correction to the normal state, behave in the homogeneous electron gas in order to establish a norm of treating those components in real metallic systems. Within the $G_{0}W_{0}$ approximation, we point out that these components are non-analytic near the Fermi surface but their directional derivatives and resulting corrections to the quasiparticle velocity are nevertheless well defined. In the low-energy spectrum, we observe large cancellation between effects of these components and, without the numerically more tedious $sigma_{3}$ component, the effective mass is incorrectly increased. Feasible paths to manage this cancellation in the ab initio Eliashberg calculations are discussed.

We extend the two leading methods for the emph{ab initio} computational descrip tion of phonon-mediated superconductors, namely Eliashberg theory and density fu nctional theory for superconductors (SCDFT), to include plasmonic effects. Furth ermore,
we introduce a hybrid formalism in which the Eliashberg approximation fo r the electron-phonon coupling is combined with the SCDFT treatment of the dynam ically screened Coulomb interaction. The methods have been tested on a set of we ll-known conventional superconductors by studying how the plasmon contribution a ffects the phononic mechanism in determining the critical temperature (tc). Our simulations show that plasmonic SCDFT leads to a good agreement between predict ed and measured tcs, whereas Eliashberg theory considerably overestimates the plasmon-mediated pairing and, therefore, tc. The hybrid approach, on the other hand, gives results close to SCDFT and overall in excellent agreement with exper iments.
We present a first-principles approach to describe magnetic and superconducting systems and the phenomena of competition between these electronic effects. We develop a density functional theory: SpinSCDFT, by extending the Hohenberg-Kohn theorem and
constructing the non-interacting Kohn- Sham system. An exchange-correlation functional for SpinSCDFT is derived from the Sham Schluter connection between the SpinSCDFT Kohn-Sham and a self-energy in Eliashberg approximation. The reference Eliashberg equations for superconductors in the presence of magnetism are also derived and discussed.
We formulate an efficient scheme to perform Migdal-Eliashberg calculation considering the retardation effect from first principles. While the conventional approach requires a huge number of Matsubara frequencies, we show that the intermediate represe
ntation of the Greens function [H. Shinaoka et al., Phys. Rev. B 96, 035147 (2017)] dramatically reduces the numerical cost to solve the linearized gap equation. Without introducing any empirical parameter, we demonstrate that we can successfully reproduce the experimental superconducting transition temperature of elemental Nb ($sim 10$ K) very accurately. The present result indicates that our approach has a superior performance for many superconductors for which $T_{rm c}$ is lower than ${mathcal O}(10)$ K
We present an ab initio $GW$ self-energy calculation of the electronic structure of LaNiO$_2$. With respect to density-functional theory we find that in $GW$ the La 4$f$ states undergo an important $+$2 eV upward shift from the Fermi level, while the
O 2$p$ states are pulled down by $-$1.5 eV, thus reinforcing the charge-transfer character of this material. However, $GW$ many-body effects leave the $d$-like bands at the Fermi level almost unaffected, so that the Fermi-surface topology is preserved, unlike in cuprates.
The Eliashberg theory of superconductivity accounts for the fundamental physics of conventional electron-phonon superconductors, including the retardation of the interaction and the effect of the Coulomb pseudopotential, to predict the critical tempe
rature $T_c$ and other properties. McMillan, Allen, and Dynes derived approximate closed-form expressions for the critical temperature predicted by this theory, which depends essentially on the electron-phonon spectral function $alpha^2F(omega)$, using $alpha^2F$ for low-$T_c$ superconductors. Here we show that modern machine learning techniques can substantially improve these formulae, accounting for more general shapes of the $alpha^2F$ function. Using symbolic regression and the sure independence screening and sparsifying operator (SISSO) framework, together with a database of artificially generated $alpha^2F$ functions, ranging from multimodal Einstein-like models to calculated spectra of polyhydrides, as well as numerical solutions of the Eliashberg equations, we derive a formula for $T_c$ that performs as well as Allen-Dynes for low-$T_c$ superconductors, and substantially better for higher-$T_c$ ones. The expression identified through our data-driven approach corrects the systematic underestimation of $T_c$ while reproducing the physical constraints originally outlined by Allen and Dynes. This equation should replace the Allen-Dynes formula for the prediction of higher-temperature superconductors and for the estimation of $lambda$ from experimental data.
