58. Obviously, the uncorrelated leads can be solved exactly without being partitioned into clusters.

62. In the time representation, they also include convolutions over internal times. However, since we are considering the steady state, Green's functions become diagonal in the frequency representation.

64. A B refers to a submatrix of m in which the left (right) index is restricted to region A (B), with A, B = c, l, or r.
65. For simplicity, we consider all hoppings to be real.
66. C C. In this case, the solution of Eq.is trivially obtained by taking the leads as auxiliary baths.
67. This condition corresponds to a generalized Hartree self-consistence. It physically amounts to requirement that certain "generalized densities" (more specifically, some elements of the single-particle density matrix) coincide in the unperturbed and in the perturbed systems, so that the effect of the perturbation is minimized. Which terms should coincide is determined by the choice of the variational parameters. Notice that by using the coupling to the bath sites as variational parameters, one can also require dynamical contributions to the Green's function to coincide.
68. 1 is present in the trace.

73. For cluster-DMFT, all spectral functions here, Δ, A, etc., are matrices in cluster sites. Therefore Im is understood as the antihermitian part and Re as the hermitian part of such matrices. The v n ± are column vectors in cluster sites.
