Toward a systematic 1/d expansion: Two particle properties

Abstract

We present a procedure to calculate 1/d corrections to the two-particle properties around the infinite dimensional dynamical mean field limit. Our method is based on a modified version of the scheme of Ref. onlinecite{SchillerIngersent}}. To test our method we study the Hubbard model at half filling within the fluctuation exchange approximation (FLEX), a selfconsistent generalization of iterative perturbation theory. Apart from the inherent unstabilities of FLEX, our method is stable and results in causal solutions. We find that 1/d corrections to the local approximation are relatively small in the Hubbard model.Comment: 4 pages, 4 eps figures, REVTe
