ABSTRACT By means of the dynamical vertex approximation (DΓA) we include spatial correlations on all length scales beyond the dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) for the half-filled Hubbard model in three dimensions. The most relevant changes due to nonlocal fluctuations are (i) a deviation from the mean-field critical behavior with the same critical exponents as for the three dimensional Heisenberg (anti)ferromagnet and (ii) a sizable reduction of the Néel temperature (T(N)) by ~30% for the onset of antiferromagnetic order. Finally, we give a quantitative estimate of the deviation of the spectra between DΓA and DMFT in different regions of the phase diagram.

##### Article: Itinerant and local-moment magnetism in strongly correlated electron systems
[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Detailed analysis of the magnetic properties of the Hubbard model within dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) is presented. Using a RPA-like decoupling of two-particle propagators we derive a universal form for susceptibilities, which captures essential aspects of localized and itinerant pictures. This expression is shown to be quantitatively valid whenever long-range coherence of particle-hole excitations can be neglected, as is the case in large parts of the phase diagram where antiferromag- netism is dominant. The applicability of an interpretation in terms of the two archetypical pictures of magnetism is investigated for the Hubbard model on a body-centered cubic lattice with additional next-nearest neighbor hopping t'. For large values of the Coulomb interaction, local-moment mag- netism is found to be dominant, while for weakly interacting band electrons itinerant quasiparticle magnetism prevails. In the intermediate regime and for finite t' an re-entrant behavior is discovered, where antiferromagnetism only exists in a finite temperature interval.

##### Article: Quantum dynamical screening of the local magnetic moment in Fe-based superconductors
[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We have calculated the local magnetic susceptibility of one of the prototypical Fe-based superconductors (LaFeAsO) by means of the local density approximation + dynamical mean field theory as a function of both (imaginary) time and real frequencies with and without vertex corrections. Vertex corrections are essential for obtaining the correct $\omega$-dependence, in particular a pronounced low-energy peak at $\omega \sim 0.2$eV, which constitutes the hallmark of the dynamical screening of a large instantaneous magnetic moment on the Fe atoms. In experiments, however, except for the case of x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), the magnetic moment or the susceptibility represent typically the average over long time scales. In this respect, the frequency range of typical neutron experiments would be too limited to directly estimate the magnitude of the short-time moment.

##### Article: Signature of antiferromagnetic long-range order in the optical spectrum of strongly correlated electron systems
[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We show how the onset of a non-Slater antiferromagnetic ordering in a correlated material can be detected by optical spectroscopy. Using dynamical mean-field theory we identify two distinctive features: The antiferromagnetic ordering is associated with an enhanced spectral weight above the optical gap, and well separated spin-polaron peaks emerge in the optical spectrum. Both features are indeed observed in LaSrMnO_4 [G\"ossling et al., Phys. Rev. B 77, 035109 (2008)]
