Among strongly correlated materials Sr₂IrO₄ is often presented as a paradigmatic system for the complex competition that takes place between ligand field, spin-orbit coupling (SOC), Coulomb correlation and structural distortion. Ba₂IrO₄ has recently attracted some interest being simpler in view of the absence of structural distortion and being isostructural to La₂CuO₄. Normally, the physics of iridates has been described within a j_eff=1/2 basis representation solved by means of Dynamical Mean Field Theory (DMFT). This picture however, while it partially alleviates the sign problem of Quantum Monte Carlo solver, often goes in hands with some approximation that prevent the application of a fully Ab initio DFT+DMFT scheme. In this work, we will go beyond standard approximation comparing the usual schemes to the orbital picture.
