These functionals have reached a quite high level of sophistication. At the same time, there are important elements of the nuclear phenomenology that cannot be explained within this framework: to name a few, the fragmentation of single-particle and collective excitations, or the details of their particle and gamma decay. Thus, we will describe a complementary approach which is based on particle-vibration coupling (PVC). The formalism that we shall describe is, in principle, non-perturbative and contains no adjustable parameters. Various applications to low-lying states in odd nuclei and giant resonances will be discussed. Particular emphasis will be given to charge-exchange excitations, like the Gamow-Teller in magic and superfluid nuclei. In this latter case, the respective roles of PVC correlations and isovector/isoscalar pairing will be elucidated.
