Two-Particle Self-Consistent method for the multi-orbital Hubbard model

Abstract: One of the most challenging problems in solid state systems is the microscopic analysis of electronic correlations. A paramount minimal model that encodes correlation effects is the Hubbard Hamiltonian, which -- albeit its simplicity -- is exactly solvable only in a few limiting cases and approximate many-body methods are required for its solution. In this review we present an overview on the non-perturbative Two-Particle Self-Consistent method (TPSC) which was originally introduced to describe the electronic properties of the single-band Hubbard model. We introduce here a detailed derivation of the multi-orbital generalization of TPSC and discuss particular features of the method on exemplary interacting models in comparison to dynamical mean-field theory results.
