This is the second in a series of workshops on KKR and many-body applications. The aim of the workshop is to examine the incorporation of many-body physics into ab initio KKR theory. This includes self-interaction corrections at finite temperatures, disordered local moments, the alloy analogy of valence fluctuations, the GW method for correlated systems, and dynamical mean field theory with fluctuations exchange. It is hoped that incorporation of some of these techniques into KKR will lead to a materials-specific electronic structure code for correlated d and f electron systems.

The workshop will take place in a 16th Century monastery in the mediaeval high mountain village of Vallico Sotto (in the Tuscan Apuan Alps near the beautiful Italian city of Lucca). The normal format for events at this venue involves formal presentations being restricted to the mornings, with the afternoons left free for relaxed discussion and participation in activities. The monastery is a unique venue where the community spirit and magnificent location have inspired memorable meetings in the past.

The workshop will involve around 17 people, all accommodated on site. Given the nature of the event most speakers will be specifically invited, but anyone who feels that they have something to contribute and who wishes to attend the event is most welcome to contact the organizers (James Annett james.annett at bristol.ac.uk or Walter Temmerman w.m.temmerman at dl.ac.uk) for further details.

There is no charge either for participation in the event or for accommodation.
