69. Here we perform DMFT calculations for a fixed DFT Hamiltonian H DFT, thereby neglecting full charge self-consistency which is not expected to change the results significantly (Ref.).
70. To describe the thermodynamics of solids one must, in principle, also compute the entropy and consider the electronic, magnetic, and lattice (vibrational) contributions in the Gibbs free energy. The first two contributions are generally small and can be neglected in the paramagnetic phase of a wide-band insulator, whereas the lattice entropy may have an influence on a structural phase transition. To estimate its contribution would require to perform molecular-dynamics calculations for a correlated system. This is a very demanding project which we plan to do in the future.

86. The local coordinate system is chosen with the z direction defined along the longest (in a b plane) Cu-F bond of the CuF 6 octahedron.
87. To simplify the computation we neglected the orbital off-diagonal elements of the local Green's function by applying an additional transformation into the local basis set with a diagonal density matrix during each DMFT iteration.
