Methods for electronic-structure calculations - an overview from a reduced-density-matrix point of view

P. Ziesche, Ferenc Tasnádi

The methods of quantum chemistry and solid state theory to solve the many-body problem are reviewed. We start with the definitions of reduced density matrices, their properties (contraction sum rules, spectral resolutions, cumulant expansion, $N$-representability), and their determining equations (contracted Schrödinger equations) and we summarize recent extensions and generalizations of the traditional quantum chemical methods, of the density functional theory, and of the quasi-particle theory: from finite to extended systems (incremental method), from density to density matrix (density matrix functional theory), from weak to strong correlation (dynamical mean field theory), from homogeneous (Kimball-Overhauser approach) to inhomogeneous and finite systems. Measures of the correlation strength are discussed. The cumulant two-body reduced density matrix proves to be a key quantity. Its spectral resolution contains geminals, being possibly the solutions of an approximate effective two-body equation, and the idea is sketched of how its contraction sum rule can be used for a variational treatment.

Approximatingq-order reduced density matrices in terms of the lower-order ones. I. General relations

Francisco Colmenero, C. Pérez del Valle, Carmela Valdemoro

The commutation-anticommutation relations of q-electron operators imply a set of N representability conditions [A. J. Coleman, Rev. Mod. Phys. 31, 668 (1963)] for the corresponding q-order reduced density matrices (q-RDM) [C. Valdemoro, An. Fis. 79, 95 (1983); in Structure, Interaction and Reactivity, edited by S. Fraga (Elsevier, Amsterdam, 1992)]. From these conditions, a general and closed-form relation is obtained here. In this equation the part involving RDM's has the same structure as that involving hole reduced density matrices. This relation is the basis of a method for approximating a q-RDM in terms of the r-RDM's [C. Valdemoro, Phys. Rev. A 45, 4462 (1992)] with rq. The derivation of this relation can be simplified significantly by employing a graph method which is described here. These graphs are in a one-to-one correspondence with the elements of the symmetric group of permutations.

Cumulant‐based approximations to reduced density matrices

Frank E. Harris

Abstract The use of cumulant expansions for the approximation of reduced density matrices (RDMs) is reviewed. It is pointed out that the oft‐cited theorems of Nakatsuji and Rosina are insufficient to guarantee either N‐representability or that an N‐representable RDM has a unique antecedent wave function. Approximations involved in Mazziotti's recently proposed “formal solution for reconstruction” are identified. The behavior of his scheme, and of an older one in which all cumulants beyond the second are neglected, are illustrated by detailed examination of a model problem. The limited experience provided by this example casts doubt as to the probable effectiveness of Mazziotti's reconstruction scheme. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2002
