Effective Hamiltonian Fock space transformation

Some properties of the Fock space transformations W and effective Hamiltonians h and, thus, of the resulting h, appear to differ from those obtciined by Hilbert space transformations. For example, their canonical unitary W is not separable and yields an h and, thus, an h with disconnected diagrams on each degenerate subspace. However, the analogous U of Eq. (5.13) may be shown to be separable 71), and the resulting He on each complete subspace flo is fully linked , as proven by Brandow [8]. These differences are not explained. 

It is also of interest to study the "inverse" problem. If something is known about the symmetry properties of the density or the (first order) density matrix, what can be said about the symmetry properties of the corresponding wave functions In a one electron problem the effective Hamiltonian is constructed either from the density [in density functional theories] or from the full first order density matrix [in Hartree-Fock type theories]. If the density or density matrix is invariant under all the operations of a space CToup, the effective one electron Hamiltonian commutes with all those elements. Consequently the eigenfunctions of the Hamiltonian transform under these operations according to the irreducible representations of the space group. We have a scheme which is selfconsistent with respect to symmetty. 

The Fourier transformation method enables us to immediately write the momentum space equations as soon as the SCF theory used to describe the system under consideration allows us to build one or several effective Fock Hamiltonians for the orbitals to be determined. This includes a rather large variety of situations ...
