The mapping of steady-state nonequilibrium dynamical mean-field theory from the lattice to the impurity is described in detail. Our focus is on the case with current flow under a constant dc electric field of arbitrary magnitude. In addition to formulating the problem via path integrals and functional derivatives, we also describe the distribution function dependence of the retarded and advanced Green's functions. Our formal developments are exact for the Falicov-Kimball model. We also show how these formal developments are modified for more complicated models (like the Hubbard model).

We propose an out-of-equilibrium impurity model for the dynamical mean-field description of the Hubbard model driven by a finite electric field. The out-of-equilibrium impurity environment is represented by a collection of equilibrium reservoirs at different chemical potentials. We discuss the validity of the impurity model and propose a non-perturbative method, based on a quantum Monte Carlo solver, which provides the steady-state solutions of the impurity and original latti...

We formulate the dynamical mean field theory directly in the continuum. For a given definition of the local Green's function, we show the existence of a unique functional, whose stationary point gives the physical local Green's function of the solid. We present the diagrammatic rules to calculate it perturbatively in the interaction. Inspired by the success of dynamical mean field calculations for model Hamiltonian systems, we present approximations to the exact saddle point ...

The formalism for exactly calculating the retarded and advanced Green's functions of strongly correlated lattice models in a uniform electric field is derived within dynamical mean-field theory. To illustrate the method, we solve for the nonequilibrium density of states of the Hubbard model in both the metallic and Mott insulating phases at half-filling (with an arbitrary strength electric field) by employing the numerical renormalization group as the impurity solver. This ge...

We present a review of our recent work in extending the successful dynamical mean-field theory from the equilibrium case to nonequilibrium cases. In particular, we focus on the problem of turning on a spatially uniform, but possibly time varying, electric field (neglecting all magnetic field effects). We show how to work with a manifestly gauge-invariant formalism, and compare numerical calculations from a transient-response formalism to different types of approximate treatme...

The Falicov-Kimball model was introduced in 1969 as a statistical model for metal-insulator transitions; it includes itinerant and localized electrons that mutually interact with a local Coulomb interaction and is the simplest model of electron correlations. It can be solved exactly with dynamical mean-field theory in the limit of large spatial dimensions which provides an interesting benchmark for the physics of locally correlated systems. In this review, we develop the form...

Nonequilibrium dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) is developed for the case of the charge-density-wave ordered phase. We consider the spinless Falicov-Kimball model which can be solved exactly. This strongly correlated system is then placed in an uniform external dc electric field. We present a complete derivation for nonequilibrium dynamical mean-field theory Green's functions defined on the Keldysh-Schwinger time contour. We also discuss numerical issues involved in solving...

We perform a perturbative analysis for the nonequilibrium Green functions of the spinless Falicov-Kimball model in the presence of an arbitrary external time-dependent but spatially uniform electric field. The conduction electron self-energy is found from a strictly truncated second-order perturbative expansion in the local electron-electron repulsion U. We examine the current at half-filling, and compare to both the semiclassical Boltzmann equation and exact numerical soluti...

We present a numerical method for the study of correlated quantum impurity problems out of equilibrium, which is particularly suited to address steady state properties within Dynamical Mean Field Theory. The approach, recently introduced in [Arrigoni et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 110, 086403 (2013)], is based upon a mapping of the original impurity problem onto an auxiliary open quantum system, consisting of the interacting impurity coupled to bath sites as well as to a Markovian ...

Since the first investigation of the Hubbard model in the limit of infinite dimensions by Metzner and Vollhardt, dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) has become a very powerful tool for the investigation of lattice models of correlated electrons. In DMFT the lattice model is mapped on an effective quantum impurity model in a bath which has to be determined self-consistently. This approach lead to a significant progress in our understanding of typical correlation problems such a...

In this work we examine the time-resolved, instantaneous current response for the spinless Falicov-Kimball model at half-filling, on both sides of the Mott-Hubbard metal-insulator transition, driven by a strong electric field pump pulse. The results are obtained using an exact, nonequilibrium, many-body impurity solution specifically designed to treat the out-of-equilibrium evolution of electrons in time-dependent fields. We provide a brief introduction to the method and its ...
