Heating and cooling in self-consistent many-body simulations

arXiv:2305.01452 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.108.155116

Abstract

We present a temperature extrapolation technique for self-consistent many-body methods, which provides a causal starting point for converging to a solution at a target temperature. The technique employs the Carathéodory formalism for interpolating causal matrix-valued functions and is applicable to various many-body methods, including dynamical mean field theory, its cluster extensions, and self-consistent perturbative methods such as the self-consistent GW approximation. We show results that demonstrate that this technique can efficiently simulate heating and cooling hysteresis at a first-order phase transition, as well as accelerate convergence.
