+
+Numerical Treatment of the Sign-Problem: Basis Rotations
+=======
+
+When performing calculations with off-diagonal complex hybridisation or local Hamiltonian, one is
+often limited by the fermionic sign-problem. However, as the sign is no
+physical observable, one can try to improve the calculation by rotating
+to another basis.
+
+While the choice of basis to perform the calculation in can be chosen
+arbitrarily, two choices which have shown good results are the basis
+which diagonalizes the local Hamiltonian or the density matrix of then
+system.
+
+The transformation matrix can be stored in the :class:`BlockStructure` and the
+transformation is automatically performed when using :class:`SumkDFT`'s :meth:`extract_G_loc`
+and :meth:`put_Sigma` (see below).
+
+
+Finding the Transformation Matrix
+-----------------
+
+The :class:`TransBasis` class offers a simple mehod to calculate the transformation
+matrices to a basis where either the local Hamiltonian or the density matrix
+is diagonal::
+
+    from triqs_dft_tools.trans_basis import TransBasis
+    TB = TransBasis(SK)
+    TB.calculate_diagonalisation_matrix(prop_to_be_diagonal='eal', calc_in_solver_blocks = True)
+
+    SK.block_structure.transformation = [{'ud':TB.w}]
+
+
+
+Transforming Green's functions manually
+-----------------
+
+One can transform Green's functions manually using the :meth:`convert_gf` method::
+
+    # Rotate a Green's function from solver-space to sumk-space
+    new_gf = block_structure.convert_gf(old_gf, space_from='solver', space_to='sumk')
+
+
+
+Automatic transformation during the DMFT loop
+-----------------
+
+During a DMFT loop one is switching back and forth between Sumk-Space and Solver-Space
+in each iteration. Once the block_structure.transformation property is set, this can be
+done automatically::
+
+    for it in range(iteration_offset, iteration_offset + n_iterations):
+        # every GF is in solver space here
+        S.G0_iw << inverse(S.Sigma_iw + inverse(S.G_iw))
+
+        # solve the impurity in solver space -> hopefully better sign
+        S.solve(h_int = H, **p)
+
+        # calc_dc(..., transform = True) by default
+        SK.calc_dc(S.G_iw.density(), U_interact=U, J_hund=J, orb=0, use_dc_formula=DC_type)
+        
+        # put_Sigma(..., transform_to_sumk_blocks = True) by default
+        SK.put_Sigma([S.Sigma_iw])
+        
+        SK.calc_mu()
+
+        # extract_G_loc(..., transform_to_solver_blocks = True) by default
+        S.G_iw << SK.extract_G_loc()[0]
+
+.. warning::
+  One must not forget to also transform the interaction Hamiltonian to the diagonal basis!
+  This can be done with the :meth:`transform_U_matrix` method. However, due to different 
+  conventions in this method, one must pass the conjugated version of the transformation matrix::
+  
+  U_trans = transform_U_matrix(U, SK.block_structure.transformation[0]['ud'].conjugate())

+
+Spin-orbit coupled calculations (single-shot)
+=============================================
+
+There are two main ways of including the spin-orbit coupling (SO) term into
+DFT+DMFT calculations:
+
+-   by performing a DFT calculation including SO and then doing a DMFT calculation on top, or
+-   by performing a DFT calculation without SO and then adding the SO term on the model level.
+
+Treatment of SO in DFT
+----------------------
+
+For now, TRIQS/DFTTools does only work with Wien2k when performing calculations with SO.
+Of course, the general Hk framework is also possible.
+But the way VASP treats SO is fundamentally different to the way Wien2k treats it and the interface does not handle that at the moment.
+
+Therefore, this guide assumes that Wien2k is being used.
+
+First, a Wien2k calculation including SO has to be performed.
+For details, we refer the reader to the documentation of Wien2k.
+The interface to Wien2k only works when the DFT calculation is done both spin-polarized and with SO (that means that you have to initialize the Wien2k calculation accordingly and then run with ``runsp -sp``).
+
+Performing the projection
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Note that the final ``x lapw2 -almd -so -up`` and ``x lapw2 -almd -so -dn`` have to be run *on a single core*, which implies that, before, ``x lapw1 -up``, ``x lapw2 -dn``, and ``x lapwso -up`` have to be run in single-core mode (once).
+
+In the ``case.indmftpr`` file, the spin-orbit flag has to be set to ``1`` for the correlated atoms.
+For example, for the compound Sr\ :sub:`2`\ RuO\ :sub:`4`, with the struct file :download:`Sr2RuO4.struct <Sr2RuO4/Sr2RuO4.struct>`, we would e.g. use the ``indmftpr`` file :download:`found here <Sr2RuO4/Sr2RuO4.indmftpr>`.
+Then, ``dmftproj -sp -so`` has to be called.
+As usual, it is important to check for warnings (e.g., about eigenvalues of the overlap matrix) in the output of ``dmftproj`` and adapt the window until these warnings disappear.
+
+Note that in presence of SO, it is not possible to project only onto the :math:`t_{2g}` subshell because it is not an irreducible representation.
+A redesign of the orthonormalization procedure might happen in the long term, which might allow that.
+
+We strongly suggest using the :py:meth:`.dos_wannier_basis` functionality of the :py:class:`.SumkDFTTools` class (see :download:`calculate_dos_wannier_basis.py <Sr2RuO4/calculate_dos_wannier_basis.py>`) and compare the Wannier-projected orbitals to the original DFT DOS (they should be more or less equal).
+Note that, with SO, there are usually off-diagonal elements of the spectral function, which can also be imaginary.
+The imaginary part can be found in the third column of the files ``DOS_wann_...``.
