abstract = {Since the beginning of quantum mechanics, emergent
many-body phenomena represent the grand-challenge in
theoretical condensed-matter physics. Indeed, static
mean-field approaches fail to capture even the simplest
many-body effects, while diagrammatic techniques generally
fail in the regime characteristic of strong correlations.
The introduction of dynamical meanfield theory (DMFT) has
revolutionized this field. Two insights paved the way to
this paradigm shift. The first is that in the limit of
infinite dimensions all contributions to the self-energy
become local. The second is that the locality of the
self-energy makes it possible to build a new type of
mean-field theory, dynamical in nature, by mapping a
correlated lattice problem onto a self-consistent
quantum-impurity model. In the last decades, thanks to
advances in model building combined with the development of
flexible and numerically exact quantum-impurity solvers,
DMFT was successfully linked with ab-initio
density-functional techniques, making it the method of
choice for the investigation of correlated electron
materials. This year’s school covers the most important
aspects of the DMFT approach to real materials. Lectures
range from the basics to advanced topics, covering the DFT +
DMFT method, non-local extensions of DMFT, advanced quantum
impurity solvers, the calculation of dynamical response
functions, and the description of correlation effects out of
equilibrium. The goal of the school is to introduce advanced
graduate students and up to this modern method for the
realistic modeling of strongly correlated matter. A school
of this size and scope requires support and help from many
sources. We are very grateful for all the financial and
practical support we have received. The Institute for
Advanced Simulation at the Forschungszentrum Jülich and the
Jülich Supercomputer Centre provided the major part of the
funding and were vital for the organization of the school
and the production of this book. The Center for Electronic
Correlations and Magnetism at the University of Augsburg
offered housing support for the lecturers and some of the
students, while the Institute for Complex Adaptive Matter
(ICAM) provided travel grants for selected international
speakers and participants. The nature of a school makes it
desirable to have the lecture notes available when the
lectures are given. This way students get the chance to work
through the lectures thoroughly while their memory is still
fresh. We are therefore extremely grateful to the lecturers
that, despite tight deadlines, provided their manuscripts in
time for the production of this book. We are confident that
the lecture notes collected here will not only serve the
participants of the school but will also be useful for other
students entering the exciting field of strongly correlated
materials. We are grateful to Mrs. H. Lexis of the Verlag
des Forschungszentrum J¨ulich and to Mrs. N. Daivandy of
the Jülich Supercomputer Centre for providing their expert
support in producing the present volume on a tight schedule.
We heartily thank our students and postdocs who helped with
proofreading the manuscripts, often on quite short notice:
Julian Mußhoff, Esmaeel Sarvestani, and Qian Zhang.
Finally, our special thanks go to Dipl.-Ing. R. Hölzle for
his invaluable advice on the innumerable questions
concerning the organization of such an endeavor, and to Mrs.
L. Snyders for expertly handling all practical issues.},
