Fermion hypernetted chain equations for the three-body distribution

Abstract

The fermion hypernetted chain equations for the three-body distribution function are derived in this paper. These equations are relatively complicated and some care is required for their derivation. The formulas are presented explicitly and an outline for their practical implementation discussed.

DISCUSSION ON RANDOM PHASE APPROXIMATION OF HYPERNETTED CHAIN METHOD

WANG KE-LIN, 中国科学技术大学基础物理中心

In discussion of the many body effect of homogenenus Fermion system with hypernetted chain method, RPA is always applied and original wave function is taken as a Fermi sphere distribution function. In this paper, the validity of this method is investigated and the relation between the valid range of this method and the properties of potential and density is obtained.

Fermi hypernetted-chain evaluation of a generalized momentum distribution for model nuclear matter

Eirene Mavrommatis, Μ. Petraki, J. W. Clark

The generalized momentum distribution n(p,Q), related to the half-diagonal two-body density matrix ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\rho}}}_{2\mathrm{h}}$(${\mathbf{r}}_{1}$,${\mathbf{r}}_{2}$,${\mathbf{r}}_{1}^{\ensuremath{'}}$) by Fourier transformation in the variables ${\mathbf{r}}_{1}$-${\mathbf{r}}_{1}^{\ensuremath{'}}$ and ${\mathbf{r}}_{1}$-${\mathbf{r}}_{2}$, plays a key role in the description of final-state interactions in the nuclear medium and other strongly interacting many-body systems. The function n(p,Q) is explored for two Jastrow-correlated models of infinite nuclear matter within a Fermi hypernetted-chain procedure. Significant departures from ideal Fermi gas behavior in certain kinematic domains provide signatures of the strong short-range correlations contained in these models. However, such deviations are less prominent than in earlier calculations based on low-order cluster truncations; correspondingly, violations of the sequential relation are greatly reduced. Simple prescriptions for improved low-cluster-order approximations to n(p,Q) are suggested by analysis of the results of the Fermi hypernetted-chain evaluation. These results are also used to assess the quality of Silver's approximation n(p,Q)\ensuremath{\approx}n(p)[S(Q)-1] for the generalized momentum distribution in terms of the ordinary momentum distribution n(p) and the static structure function S(Q), with findings that have potential implications for the interpretation of data from inclusive electron scattering by nuclei at high momentum transfers.

Three-body problem at finite temperature and density

Alexander N. Kvinikhidze, Boris Blankleider

We derive practical three-body equations for the equal-time three-body Green's function in matter. Our equations describe both bosons and fermions at finite density and temperature and take into account all possible two-body subprocesses allowed by the underlying Hamiltonian.

The Hypernetted Chain Equations for Periodic Systems

Martin Panholzer

Starting from the general inhomogeneous Fermi hypernetted chain equations, the equations for periodic systems are derived by simple Fourier transform. It is shown how the symmetry reduces the size of the involved quantities. First results for a one-dimensional (1D) model system are presented. The results allow a reliable estimation of the numerical demand even for realistic 3D systems, such as solids. It is shown that treatment of this systems is feasible with moderate computational resources.

Gutzwiller approximation in the Fermi hypernetted-chain theory

Xiao-Qian Wang, C. E. Campbell

We present a general formalism for the variational calculation of the one-body density-matrix and correlation functions for strongly correlated lattice electrons in terms of the Fermi hypernetted-chain (FHNC) diagrammatic expansion. It is shown that, in the limit of infinite spatial dimensions, the local-field-approximate FHNC scheme yields the exact solution for the Gutzwiller wave function, which is equivalent to the result of the Gutzwiller approximation.

Neutron matter calculations by the Fermi-hypernetted-chain method

Børge Arntsen, Erlend Østgaard

The Fermi-hypernetted-chain method for quantum many-body calculations is studied and investigated in some detail by calculations of the ground-state energy for neutron matter. The calculations are done for five different two-body potentials and results are compared with other theoretical results. Our Fermi-hypernetted-chain results are rather close to results obtained by lowest-order constrained variation calculations, and the results are quite dependent on the chosen potential, especially at high densities.
