Description
Many-electron systems undergo a collective Larmor precession in the presence of a magnetic field. In a paramagnetic metal, the resulting spin wave provides insight into the correlation effects generated by the electron-electron interaction. Here, we use dynamical mean-field theory to investigate the collective Larmor precession in the strongly correlated regime, where dynamical correlation effects such as quasiparticle lifetimes and non-quasiparticle states are essential. We study the spin excitation spectrum, which includes a dispersive Larmor mode as well as particle-hole excitations that lead to Stoner damping. We also extract the momentum-resolved Gilbert damping of slow spin waves. The accurate theoretical description of these phenomena relies on the Ward identity, which guaranteees a precise cancellation of self-energy and vertex corrections at long wavelengths.
