We introduce a methodology to treat different degrees of freedom at different levels of approximation. We use cluster DMFT (dynamical mean field theory) for the t 2g electrons and single site DMFT for the e g electrons to study the normal state of the iron pnictides and chalcogenides. Furthermore, in the regime of moderate mass renormalizations, the self-energy is very local, justifying the success of single site DMFT for these materials and for other Hunds metals. Here we solve the corresponding impurity model with CTQMC (continuous time quantum Monte Carlo) and find that the minus sign problem is not severe in regimes of moderate mass renormalization.
