Bold-line diagrammatic Monte Carlo method: General formulation and application to expansion around the noncrossing approximation

We present a general framework for performing ``bold-line'' diagrammatic Monte Carlo calculations using an analytical partial resummation as a starting point for a stochastic summation of all diagrams. As a stringent test case we assess the accuracy of the method by solving the equations of single-site dynamical mean-field theory, using the noncrossing approximation as a starting point. We establish the validity of the starting approximations and show that the bold method provides a very accurate treatment of the Mott-insulating phase.
