Why Calculate in Infinite Dimensions?

arXiv:2210.06072

Abstract

A pedagogical introduction to solving classical and quantum many-body models in infinite spatial dimensions is given. The solution of the Hubbard model obtained in this limit is discussed in detail. It corresponds to a dynamical mean-field theory, which allows to compute the properties of correlated electrons in models and materials.
