Full self-consistency versus quasiparticle self-consistency in diagrammatic approaches: Exactly solvable two-site Hubbard Model

Abstract

Self-consistent solutions of Hedin's diagrammatic theory equations (HE) for the two-site Hubbard Model (HM) have been studied. They have been found for three-point vertices of increasing complexity ($\Gamma =1$ (GW approximation), ${\Gamma }_1$ from the first order perturbation theory, and exact vertex ${\Gamma }_E$). The comparison is being made when an additional quasiparticle (QP) approximation for the Green function is applied during the self-consistent iterative solving of HE and when QP approximation is not applied. The results obtained with the exact vertex are directly related to the presently open question - which approximation is more advantageous for future implementations - GW+DMFT or QPGW+DMFT. It is shown that in the regime of strong correlations only originally proposed GW+DMFT scheme is able to provide reliable results. Vertex corrections based on Perturbation Theory (PT) systematically improve the GW results when full self-consistency is applied. The application of the QP self-consistency combined with PT vertex corrections shows similar problems to the case when the exact vertex is applied combined with QP sc. The analysis of Ward Identity violation is performed for all studied in this work approximations and its relation to the general accuracy of the schemes used is provided.
