Here $\mu $ is the chemical potential and we have singled out in Eq.~\ref{eq:gwk} the Hartree potential expressed in terms of the exact density and the crystal potential, and
lumped the rest of the effects of the correlation in the self energy operator which depends on frequency as well as on two space variables.
In chemistry, a quantum mechanical system is strongly correlated when $\Sigma( i \omega) - \Sigma_{HF}
(i \omega) $ is large at
small energies. Here $\Sigma_{HF}
(i omega) $ is the self energy computed in the Hartree Fock approximation.
NOTE At infinite frequency,
$\Sigma $ is given by the Hartree Fock graph evaluated with the exact Greens
function. function, hence the Hartree Fock approximation is not exact even at infinite frequency, but it is a good starting point for the treatment of atoms and molecules.
Solid state physicists adopt a very different definition of strong correlations. Here,
the a good reference system is the Kohn Sham Greens function
evaluated in some implementation of the density functional theory such as the LDA. Hence, for condensed matter scientists, by definition, a
strongly correlated material is one where $\Sigma - V_{KS} $ is large at low
energy. frequencies. Strongly correlated materials, are those for which this is not the case, a famous example are materials such as LaCuO4 which are predicted to be metals in LDA but which are experimentally antiferromagnetic Mott insulators.

there is a classification of the errors introduced by
the use of approximate density functionals, as being of two types, static correlation and dynamic
correlation. These correlation\cite{Yang_2012}. Similar ideas,

been reformulated appear in the solid state
context. Unfortunately context, but the

(i.e. a self energy which varies weakly with frequency at low energies)
correspondes corresponds to the concept of dynamical correlations.
