| contents | We introduce a systematic expansion tailored to systems with strong local interactions and capable of computing response functions, including finite DC transport, analytically. The expansion is controlled by a small parameter $s^2$ that measures the area of the momentum space region where kinematics of the theory is concentrated. In real space, this corresponds to single-particle or correlated hopping terms with amplitudes that decay over a length scale $1/s$ and scale in magnitude as $s^2$ in two dimensions. In the limit $s^2\ll 1$, long, self-avoiding tunneling paths dominate over paths revisiting the same site. This enables systematic controlled calculations of various physical quantities. We illustrate the method with three applications. (i) A Hubbard model with concentrated dispersion: we analytically obtain spectral broadening which scales as $s^2$ and identify a high-temperature bad metal with $T$-linear resistivity coexisting with parametrically long-lived quasiparticles, as well as an intermediate-temperature "thermal FL*" with a small hole pocket that coexists with thermally disordered fluctuating local moments, all within a single controlled framework. (ii) A correlated-hopping model with interesting electron-trion dynamics. (iii) A model of Chern bands with concentrated Berry curvature, motivated by twisted bilayer graphene, which realizes a Mott semimetal where we compute the broadening for the electron and trion spectral functions. At the end, we discuss how our approach paves the way to addressing various challenging questions in strongly correlated systems and outline its various generalizations. |
