Abstract

A scheme to incorporate nonlocal polarizations into the dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) and a tailor-made way to determine the effective interaction for DMFT are systematically investigated. Applying it to the two-dimensional Hubbard model, we find that nonlocal polarizations induce a nontrivial filling-dependent antiscreening effect for the effective interaction. The present scheme combined with density functional theory offers an ab initio way to derive effective on-site interactions for the impurity problem in DMFT. We apply it to SrVO3 and find that the antiscreening competes with the screening caused by the off-site interaction.
