Many-Body Perturbation Theory with Localized Orbitals: Accounting for Localization Diagrams as Integral Dressing

Péter R. Śurján, Ágnes Szabados

Abstract

We argue that the so-called localization diagrams, originating from off-diagonal Fockian elements, do not have to be dealt with explicitly in the Davidson-Kapuy many-body perturbation theory with localized orbitals but can be accounted for by dressed two-electron integrals.

Use of localized canonical solutions of the Hartree--Fock equations in many- body perturbation theory

Eytan Domany, Jacob Katriel, C.G. Kuper

The existence of localized canonical solutions of the Hartree--Fock equations is investigated. Application of a prescription proposed by Davidson provides the modification needed to settle the difficulties investigated by Brandow in the context of the theory of solid $sup 3$He.

Formal perturbation theory

Isaiah Shavitt, Rodney J. Bartlett

Background There are two stages in the study of perturbation theory and related techniques (although they are mixed intimately in most derivations in the literature). The first is the formal development , carried out in terms of the total Hamiltonian and total wave function (and total zero-order wave function), without attempt to express anything in terms of one- and two-body quantities (components of Ĥ, orbitals, integrals over orbitals etc.). We can make a considerable amount of progress in this way before considering the detailed form of Ĥ. The second is the many-body development , where all expressions are obtained in terms of orbitals (one-electron states) and oneand two-electron integrals. We shall try to keep these separate for a while and begin with a consideration of formal perturbation theory. Another aspect of the study of many-body techniques is the large variety of approaches, notations and derivations that have been used. Each different approach has contributed to the lore and the language of many-body theory, and each tends to illuminate some aspects better than the other approaches. If we want to be able to read the literature in this field, we should be familiar with several alternative formulations. Therefore, we shall occasionally derive some results in more than one way and, in particular, we shall derive the basic perturbation-theory equations and their many-body representations in several complementary ways. Classical derivation of Rayleigh–Schrödinger perturbation theory The perturbation Ansatz We begin with a classical textbook derivation of formal Rayleigh–Schrödinger perturbation theory (RSPT).

Diagrammatic formulation of the second-order many-body multipartitioning perturbation theory

Andr�i Zaitsevskii, Renzo Cimiraglia

The second-order multireference perturbation theory employing multiple partitioning of the many-electron Hamiltonian into a zero-order part and a perturbation is formulated in terms of many-body diagrams. The essential difference from the standard diagrammatic technique of Hose and Kaldor concerns the rules of evaluation of energy denominators which take into account the dependence of the Hamiltonian partitioning on the bra and ket determinantal vectors of a given matrix element, as well as the presence of several two-particle terms in zero-order operators. The novel formulation naturally gives rise to a “sum-over-orbital” procedure of correlation calculations on molecular electronic states, particularly efficient in treating the problems with large number of correlated electrons and extensive one-electron bases. ©1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

A note on perturbation-adapted perturbation theory

Péter R. Śurján, Dóra Kőhalmi, Ágnes Szabados

The partitioning introduced recently by Knowles [J. Chem. Phys. 156, 011101 (2022)] is analyzed and its connections with the Adams partitioning and the Davidson-Kapuy partitioning are discussed. Davidson's partitioning is reformulated using the second quantized formalism. A relation is pointed out between the Knowles condition for the many-body perturbation theory zero order Hamiltonian and the CEPA0 equations.

Functional-Integral Approaches and Diagrammatic Many-Body Theory of the Hubbard Model

Cláudio Andrade Macedo, M. D. Coutinho Filho

We are able to demonstrate that we can attain a proper comprehension of the functional-integral method as applied to the Hubbard and similar model systems. This is done in the context of diagrammatic perturbation theory. In particular, new as well as well-known exact relations among physical quantities of interest are derived in the context of the formalism.

Finite-temperature many-body perturbation theory for electrons: Algebraic recursive definitions, second-quantized derivation, linked-diagram theorem, general-order algorithms, and grand canonical and canonical ensembles

So Hirata

A comprehensive and detailed account is presented for the finite-temperature many-body perturbation theory for electrons that expands in power series all thermodynamic functions on an equal footing. Algebraic recursions in the style of the Rayleigh-Schrödinger perturbation theory are derived for the grand potential, chemical potential, internal energy, and entropy in the grand canonical ensemble and for the Helmholtz energy, internal energy, and entropy in the canonical ensemble, leading to their sum-over-states analytical formulas at any arbitrary order. For the grand canonical ensemble, these sum-over-states formulas are systematically transformed to sum-over-orbitals reduced analytical formulas by the quantum-field-theoretical techniques of normal-ordered second quantization and Feynman diagrams extended to finite temperature. It is found that the perturbation corrections to energies entering the recursions have to be treated as a nondiagonal matrix, whose off-diagonal elements are generally nonzero within a subspace spanned by degenerate Slater determinants. They give rise to a unique set of linked diagrams-renormalization diagrams-whose resolvent lines are displaced upward, which are distinct from the well-known anomalous diagrams of which one or more resolvent lines are erased. A linked-diagram theorem is introduced that proves the size-consistency of the finite-temperature many-body perturbation theory at any order. General-order algorithms implementing the recursions establish the convergence of the perturbation series toward the finite-temperature full-configuration-interaction limit unless the series diverges. The normal-ordered Hamiltonian at finite temperature sheds light on the relationship between the finite-temperature Hartree-Fock and first-order many-body perturbation theories.
