This KITP program will focus on quantitative methods for the treatment
of electronic correlations in solids, and emphasize applications to
materials of current experimental interest such as rare earth and
actinides, heavy fermions, transition metal compounds and quasi one-
and two-dimensional organics.
It is motivated by recent advances in the treatment of correlation
effects such as dynamical mean field theory and its extensions,
numerical renormalization group approaches, and their integration
into electronic structure calculations. The program will
stimulate discussions among experts in many body theory, experts in
electronic structure calculations and experimentalists working on
strongly correlated materials. The program will balance two
important components: the development of new theoretical methods, and
the applications of these methods to experimentally relevant systems,
in order to gain a new physical understanding of complex materials.
