Analytic extension of the coherent potential approximation to clusters

We put forward the homomorphic cluster coherent potential approximation (HCPA) for substitutionally disordered systems as one possible way of avoiding the breakdown of analyticity in average Green's functions even when effects of clusters are properly taken into account. We assert that a cluster CPA yields an analytic physical solution if a one-particle total Hamiltonian is partitioned into the sum of homomorphic single-cluster Hamiltonians and the CPA condition is applied to one of these homomorphic sub-Hamiltonians.
