Abstract
We develop a diagrammatic approach with local and nonlocal self-energy diagrams, constructed from the local irreducible vertex. This approach includes the local correlations of dynamical mean-field theory and long-range correlations beyond. It allows us, for example, to describe (para)magnons and weak localization effects---in strongly correlated systems. As a first application, we study the interplay between nonlocal antiferromagnetic correlations and the strong local correlations emerging in the vicinity of a Mott-Hubbard transition.

Dynamical mean-field theory of strongly correlated fermion systems and the limit of infinite dimensions

TL;DR: The dynamical mean field theory of strongly correlated electron systems is based on a mapping of lattice models onto quantum impurity models subject to a self-consistency condition.

Metal-Insulator Transition

TL;DR: A general survey of the metal-nonmetal transition is given in this article with particular emphasis on the following points: (a) is the transition of first order; (b) can one observe the transition; and (c) how the transition affected when it occurs in ionic lattices or polar liquids.

Spin Fluctuations in Itinerant Electron Magnetism

TL;DR: In this paper, a general theory of spin fluctuations and thermodynamical properties of itinerant electron magnets is developed, interpolating between the weakly and strongly ferromagnetic limits, and a unified expression is given for the Curie temperature and the physical meaning of the curie-Weiss magnetic susceptibility is discussed.
