Symmetric Improved Estimators for Continuous-time Quantum Monte Carlo.

We derive equations of motion for Green's functions of the multi-orbital Anderson impurity model by differentiating symmetrically with respect to all time arguments. The resulting equations relate the one- and two-particle Green's function to correlators of up to six particles at four times. As an application we consider continuous-time quantum Monte Carlo simulations in the hybridization expansion, which hitherto suffered from notoriously high noise levels at large Matsubara frequencies. Employing the derived symmetric improved estimators overcomes this problem.
