As seen from our discussion in Chapter 3, which dealt with onedimensional problems, in many relevant cases one actually does not need the knowledge of the behavior of the system in real time to find the rate constant. As a matter of fact, the rate constant is expressible solely in terms of the equilibrium partition function imaginary-time path integrals. This approximation is closely related to the key assumptions of TST, and it is not always valid, as mentioned in Section 2.3. The general real-time description of a particle coupled to a heat bath is the Feynman-Vernon... 

Fig. 7. Contour plot of the inverse of the dielectric function imaginary part Im[—l/efr/, co)I for an unperturbed electron gas of Tj = 2, as a function of the momentum transfer q and the transition energy co. All quantities in atomic units. The dielectric function is calculated using the Mermin model. The contour plot is in logarithmic scale. The KS eigenenergies of the 2p orbital for Ne and N ions embedded in the electron gas are shown with circles for different electronic configurations (all of them with a K-shell hole and a given number of electrons in the L shell). The value of the plasmon energy is also shown with a thick solid line.

The quantum phase factor is the exponential of an imaginary quantity (i times the phase), which multiplies into a wave function. Historically, a natural extension of this was proposed in the fonn of a gauge transformation, which both multiplies into and admixes different components of a multicomponent wave function [103]. The resulting gauge theories have become an essential tool of quantum field theories and provide (as already noted in the discussion of the YM field) the modem rationale of basic forces between elementary particles [67-70]. It has already been noted that gauge theories have also made notable impact on molecular properties, especially under conditions that the electronic... 

Real and imaginary parts of this yield the basic equations for the functions appearing in Eqs. (9) and (10). (The choice of the upper sign in these equations will be justified in a later subsection for the ground-state component in several physical situations. In some other circumstances, such as for excited states in certain systems, the lower sign can be appropriate.)...

To verify effectiveness of NDCPA we carried out the calculations of absorption spectra for a system of excitons locally and linearly coupled to Einstein phonons at zero temperature in cubic crystal with one molecule per unit cell (probably the simplest model of exciton-phonon system of organic crystals). Absorption spectrum is defined as an imaginary part of one-exciton Green s function taken at zero value of exciton momentum vector... 

The unitary transform does the same thing as a similarity transform, except that it operates in a complex space rather than a real space. Thinking in terms of an added imaginary dimension for each real dimension, the space of the unitary matrix is a 2m-dimensionaI space. The unitary transform is introduced here because atomic or molecular wave functions may be complex.

Computations done in imaginary time can yield an excited-state energy by a transformation of the energy decay curve. If an accurate description of the ground state is already available, an excited-state description can be obtained by forcing the wave function to be orthogonal to the ground-state wave function. 

Di- and trinucleotides may be used as units instead of the monomers. This convergent synthetic strategy simplifies the purification of products, since they are differentiated by a much higher jump in molecular mass and functionality from the educls than in monomer additions, and it raises the yield. We can illustrate the latter effect with an imaginary sequence of seven synthetic steps, c.g. nucleotide condensations, where the yield is 80% in each step. In a converging seven-step synthesis an octanucleotide would be obtained in 0.8 x 100 = 51% yield, compared with a 0.8 x 100 = 21% yield in a linear synthesis. 

Diagrammatic representations of the functions in Equation (1.35) cannot be made until we convert them from imaginary into real functions. Exceptions are the functions with = 0, which are already real.

In the semiclassical evaluation of the barrier partition function the integration goes along the whole imaginary axis in the c, plane (see fig. 21). 

The influence functional theory, as it was formulated by Feyman and Vernon, relies on the additional assumption concerning factorization of the total (system and bath) density matrix in the past. Without this assumption the theory requires a triple path integral, with one thermal integration over the imaginary time axis [Grabert et al. 1988].
