Making use of self-energy functionals: The variational cluster approximation
arXiv:1407.4065
Abstract
A pedagogical introduction to the cluster-perturbation theory, the variational cluster approximation and to self-energy-functional theory is given. Some standard applications and the relation to dynamical mean-field theory are discussed.
