Slave rotor approach to impurity models with correlated dp orbitals — •Jakob Steinbauer and Silke Biermann — École Polytechnique, Palaiseau, France

We propose a slave rotor method for the solution of many-orbital quantum impurity problems, which maps the original problem onto one with reduced degeneracy. This is particularly useful for the dynamical mean field theory treatment of transition metal oxides where the interactions between ligand states with d-electrons are all too often simply neglected. We derive a general formalism relying on an optimized effective model obtained from the variational principle of Feynman and Peierls and test the method in the atomic limit.
