We present a thermodynamical investigation of the alpha-gamma transition of Ce using first principles calculation based on the combination of Density Functional Theory with Dynamical Mean Field Theory. First, the scheme allows for an improvement in the description of spectral functions. Secondly, we are able to identify unambiguously a negative curvature in the internal energy versus volume curves. Thirdly, we compute - thanks to extensive calculations -, the electronic entropy and find thermodynamical functions variations during the transition in good agreement with experiment but with a renormalized temperature.
