33. Conclusion / Outlook Correlated Electron Systems: fundamental questions, promising applications. Huge phase space DMFT (simple ? ) framework to think about electrons in solids and compute their properties. Many succesful applications to many materials for which cannot be treated with other techniques. In use for many materials by many groups. Qualitative and quantitative system specific results gives us confidence in the method. Example of actinide series, cuprates. Needed: progress in implementation! DMFT treats local correlation well but ignores non linear interactions among long wavelength modes and topological defects and other fluctuation effects. Limited k dependence [Connection with other approaches to strong correlation] Starting point for more sophisticated treatments [ including long wavelength modes and their interactions as in. Stat mech] Needed : Fluctuations around DMFT 32
