Linearized Version of the Hartree-Fock Method

A. Mann, R. Gross

An approximate version of the Hartree-Fock method is proposed. This approximate version involves the solution of a set of linear equations. An application to a solvable model with a nontrivial Hartree-Fock solution yields good results.

Helium Atom Excitations by the GW and Bethe-Salpeter Many-Body Formalism

Jing Li, Markus Holzmann, Ivan Duchemin +2 more

The helium atom is the simplest many-body electronic system provided by nature. The exact solution to the Schrödinger equation is known for helium ground and excited states, and it represents a benchmark for any many-body methodology. Here, we check the ab initio many-body GW approximation and the Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE) against the exact solution for helium. Starting from the Hartree-Fock method, we show that the GW and the BSE yield impressively accurate results on excitation energies and oscillator strength, systematically improving the time-dependent Hartree-Fock method. These findings suggest that the accuracy of the BSE and GW approximations is not significantly limited by self-interaction and self-screening problems even in this few electron limit. We further discuss our results in comparison to those obtained by time-dependent density-functional theory.
