Multilayer graphene has recently attracted considerable attention due to the discovery of cascades of correlated states and superconductivity driven by displacement field tunable van-Hove singularities at low densities. While experimental efforts aim to stabilize correlated phases by proximity-induced spin-orbit coupling or by increasing the number of graphene layers in the stack, first-principle guided theoretical investigations are thwarted by the strong momentum-localization of the low-energy degrees of freedom around the valleys K,K'. Here, we discuss how correlated phenomena in few-layer graphene can be resolved by atomistic weak-coupling methods including the random-phase approximation and the functional renormalization group using ab-initio derived interaction profiles. We demonstrate that the gap between phenomenological continuum model studies and atomistic investigations can be bridged by a novel Wannierization procedure that permits to relax the strong momentum-localization of the low-energy Bloch states. This enables a well-defined downloading procedure of long-ranged Coulomb interactions to the valley-local flat bands of multilayer graphene systems subject to external displacement fields.
