The adiabatic connection fluctuation-dissipation theorem (ACFDT) provides access to the correlation energy of a system. It is often used as a synonym for the random-phase approximation (RPA), which can be understood as an infinite sum of all bubble diagrams in Feynman's diagrammatic language, where excitonic effects are neglected. RPA/ACFDT is used as a post-processing tool on top of a DFT calculation to obtain a more accurate ground-state energy. This category is part of many-body perturbation theory.
