Development of an efficient impurity solver in dynamical mean field theory for multiband systems: Iterative perturbation theory combined with parquet equations

Abstract

Although several impurity solvers in the dynamical mean field theory (DMFT) have been proposed, especially in multi-band systems, there are practical difficulties arising from a trade-off between numerical costs and reliability. In this study, we re-interpret the iterative perturbation theory (IPT) as an approximation which captures the strong correlation effects by mimicking the particular frequency structures of the exact full vertex, and extend it such that it can have efficiency and reliability simultaneously by modifying IPT vertex using the parquet equations. We apply this method to several models to evaluate their validity. We confirm that our method shows good agreements with the numerically exact continuous-time quantum Monte Carlo method in the single-site DMFT calculation.
