Abstract:

I will discuss measures for correlation in different type of matter, and point out that Gutzwiller Hubbard systems represent perhaps the extreme limit of these. New methods are need to deal with this case, and my own work has focused on that direction, with some concrete results.

I will provide an introduction to extremely correlated Fermi liquid theory, developed for this problem, and also highlight some recent result, avoiding technical details as far as possible.
