Theoretical Background

The constrained random-phase approximation (CRPA) is a method that allows to calculate the effective interaction parameter U, J and J' for model Hamiltonians. The main idea is to neglect screening effects of specific target states in the screened Coulomb interaction W of the GW method. The resulting partially screened Coulomb interaction is usually evaluated in a localized basis that spans the target space and is described by the model Hamiltonian. The target space is usually low-dimensional and therefore allows for the application of a higher level theory, such as dynamical mean field theory.
