Nonlocal Coulomb correlations in metals close to a charge order insulator transition.

The charge ordering transition induced by the nearest-neighbor Coulomb repulsion V in the 1/4-filled extended Hubbard model is investigated using cellular dynamical mean-field theory. We find a transition to a strongly renormalized charge ordered Fermi liquid at V(CO) and a metal-to-insulator transition at V(MI)>V(CO). Short range antiferromagnetism occurs concomitantly with the CO transition. Approaching the charge ordered insulator, V approximately <V(MI), the Fermi surface deforms and the scattering rate of electrons develops momentum dependence on the Fermi surface.
