It is known (Chap. A) that Koopmans theorem is not vahd for the wavefunctions and eigenvalues of strongly bound states in an atom or in the cores of a solid, i.e. for those states which are a solution of the Schrodinger (or Dirac) equation in a central potential. In them the ejection (or the emission) of one-electron in the electron system means a strong change in Coulomb and exchange interactions, with the consequent modification of the energy scheme as well as of the electronic wavefunction, in contradiction to Koopmans theorem. 

In an analogous fashion to the atomic Hartree-Fock equations, the angular variables can be separated and integrated out using the Wigner-Eckart theorem in the Dirac equation to yield a set of coupled differential equations depending on r (29). 

Note, ft is to emphasize that the above entities are independent of the probability density p, and so are relevant of the part Di (four real scalar equations) of the Dirac equation D which is independent of p. Let Du (four real scalar equations) be the part of D which depends on p. About the role of the density p with respect to these entities, we have established in [11] the following theorem. 

The relativistic correction for the kinetic energy in the Dirac equation is naturally applicable to the Kohn-Sham equation. This relativistic Kohn-Sham equation is called the Dirac-KohnSham equation (Rajagopal 1978 MacDonald and Vosko 1979). The Dirac-Kohn-Sham equation is founded on the Rajagopal-Callaway theorem, which is the relativistic expansion of the Hohenberg-Kohn theorem on the basis of QED (Rajagopal and Callaway 1973). In this theorem, two theorems are contained The first theorem proves that the four-component external potential, which is the vector-potential-extended external potential, is determined by the four-component current density, which is the current-density-extended electron density. On the other hand, the second theorem establishes the variational principle for every four-component current density. See Sect. 6.5 for vector potential and current density. Consequently, the solution of the Dirac-Kohn-Sham equation is represented by the four-component orbital. This four-component orbital is often called a molecular spinor. However, this name includes no indication of orbital, which is the solution of one-electron SCF equations moreover, the targets of the calculations are not restricted to molecules. Therefore, in this book, this four-component orbital is called an orbital spinor. The Dirac-Kohn-Sham wavefunction is represented by the Slater determinant of orbital spinors (see Sect. 2.3). Following the Roothaan method (see Sect. 2.5), orbital spinors are represented by a linear combination of the four-component basis spinor functions, Xp, ... 

Here, 7 is the friction coefficient and Si is a Gaussian random force uncorrelated in time satisfying the fluctuation dissipation theorem, (Si(0)S (t)) = 2mrykBT6(t) [21], where 6(t) is the Dirac delta function. The random force is thought to stem from fast and uncorrelated collisions of the particle with solvent atoms. The above equation of motion, often used to describe the dynamics of particles immersed in a solvent, can be solved numerically in small time steps, a procedure called Brownian dynamics [22], Each Brownian dynamics step consists of a deterministic part depending on the force derived from the potential energy and a random displacement SqR caused by the integrated effect of the random force... 

The application of G-spinor basis sets can be illustrated most conveniently by constructing the matrix operators needed for DCB calculations. The DCB equations can be derived from a variational principle along familiar nonrelativistic lines [7], [8, Chapter 3]. It has usually been assumed that the absence of a global lower bound to the Dirac spectrum invalidates this procedure it has now been established [16] that the upper spectrum has a lower bound when the trial functions lie in an appropriate domain. This theorem covers the variational derivation of G-spinor matrix DCB equations. Sucher s repeated assertions [17] that the DCB Hamiltonian is fatally diseased and that the operators must be surrounded with energy projection operators can be safely forgotten.

The application of this model in physics and chemistry has had a long history. We shall give some examples of the early works. The work of Einstein S2) on the theory of Brownian motion is based on a random walk process. Dirac S3) used the model to discuss the time behavior of a quantum mechanical ensemble under the influence of perturbations this development enables one to discuss the probability of transition of a system from one unperturbed stationary state to another. Pauli 34) [also see Tolman 35)], in his treatment of the quantum mechanical H-theorem, is concerned with the approach to equilibrium of an assembly of quantum states. His equations are identical with those of a general monomolecular... 

Independently of the approximations used for the representation of the spinors (numerical or basis expansion), matrix equations are obtained for Equations (2.4) that must be solved iteratively, as the potential v(r) depends on the solution spinors. The quality of the resulting solutions can be assessed as in the nonrelativistic case by the use of the relativistic virial theorem (Kim 1967 Rutkowski et al. 1993), which has been generalized to allow for finite nuclear models (Matsuoka and Koga 2001). The extensive contributions by I. P. Grant to the development of the relativistic theory of many-electron systems has been paid tribute to recently (Karwowski 2001). The higher-order QED corrections, which need to be considered for heavy atoms in addition to the four-component Dirac description, have been reviewed in great detail (Mohr et al. 1998) and in Chapter 1 of this book. 

Thirty years ago, Hohenberg and Kohn [1] proved a theorem that soon provided an alternative way to solve the Schrodinger equation [2]. Since its introduction in 1926, solving the Schrodinger equation has been the focus of a great deal of attention. Two years later, in his paper on the quantum mechanics of many-electron systems, Dirac stated [3] ... 

The approximation method of choice is the LCAO-MO method, which is an acronym that stands for linear combinations of atomic orbitals to make molecular orbitals. Unlike VBT, however, the linear combinations used to construct MOs derive from the AOs on two or more different nuclei, whereas the linear combinations used to make hybrid orbitals in VBT involved only the valence orbitals on the central atom. Using the variation theorem, the energy of a particle can be determined from the integral in Equation (I0.I2), which is also written in its Dirac (or bra-ket) notation.
