Abstract

A numerically implementable multi-scale many-body approach to strongly correlated electron systems is introduced. An extension to quantum cluster methods, it approximates correlations on any given length-scale commensurate with the strength of the correlations on the respective scale. Short length-scales are treated explicitly, long ones are addressed at a dynamical mean-field level and intermediate length-regime correlations are assumed to be weak and are approximated diagrammatically. To illustrate and test this method, we apply it to the one-dimensional Hubbard model. The resulting multi-scale self-energy provides a very good quantitative agreement with substantially more numerically expensive, explicit quantum Monte Carlo calculations. © 2009 IOP Publishing Ltd.
