The orbitals in Ileft, span a complete Fock space of dimension 4P 1 since every orbital is associated with a Hilbert space of dimension 4 corresponding to the states —), 11 )> 14 )> I 44 ) as n Equation (2). Similarly, the orbitals in IRIGHT 44 span a complete Fock space of dimension 4k p. The idea of the DMRG algorithm is to construct a smaller optimized many-body basis /, with a specified reduced dimension M, to span the Fock space of the left block, and a...

The basis commonly employed in EOM calculations is expressed in terms of second quantized creation and destruction operators. To introduce this many-body basis, it is convenient to consider a reference determinant, q. 

A similar proof does not hold in the excitation energy case, since in this case the metric contains the commutator rather than the anticommutator. In fact, the above-described many-body basis for excitation energies need not be EOM complete, as the following simple example demonstrates. 

Although the many-body basis is not guaranteed to be complete in the excitation case, to our knowledge no difficulties with linear dependences have emerged in numerical calculations. 

These many-body theories utilize an altogether different operator basis, the many-body basis. These basis operators account for correlation in an approximate way, since they act on the correlation part of the ground state as well as the SCF term. Hence, the many-body basis operators have interesting physical interpretations as primitive ionization or excitation operators. In addition to the excitation operators, the complete many-body basis set for excitation energies includes primitive de-excitation operators, which have no analogs in traditional configuration interaction theory. The many-body basis for ionization processes includes operators that remove electrons from particle orbitals. These operators are also without simple counterparts in Cl theory. The various terms in the expression for photoionization cross sections have been analyzed in light of the physical content of the many-body basis set. 

The relevant VB-theoretic work seems less well known, with a first important result being with the work of Fischer Murrell [42 ], which however is focused on the ionic case with the electron- and site-count being different. Basically they note a correspondence between the VB many-body basis states with net charges moved around and the AO basis of the 1 -electron MO-model with electrons moved around. 

As it has appeared in recent years that many hmdamental aspects of elementary chemical reactions in solution can be understood on the basis of the dependence of reaction rate coefficients on solvent density [2, 3, 4 and 5], increasing attention is paid to reaction kinetics in the gas-to-liquid transition range and supercritical fluids under varying pressure. In this way, the essential differences between the regime of binary collisions in the low-pressure gas phase and tliat of a dense enviromnent with typical many-body interactions become apparent. An extremely useful approach in this respect is the investigation of rate coefficients, reaction yields and concentration-time profiles of some typical model reactions over as wide a pressure range as possible, which pemiits the continuous and well controlled variation of the physical properties of the solvent. Among these the most important are density, polarity and viscosity in a contimiiim description or collision frequency. 

The photoelectron spectra of pyridazine have been interpreted on the basis of many-body Green s function calculations both for the outer and the inner valence region. The calculations confirm that ionization of the first n-electron occurs at lower energy than of the first TT-electron (79MI21201). A large number of bands in the photoelectron spectrum of 3,6-diphenylpyridazine in stretched polymer sheets have been assigned to transitions predicted... 

Multiparticle collision dynamics describes the interactions in a many-body system in terms of effective collisions that occur at discrete time intervals. Although the dynamics is a simplified representation of real dynamics, it conserves mass, momentum, and energy and preserves phase space volumes. Consequently, it retains many of the basic characteristics of classical Newtonian dynamics. The statistical mechanical basis of multiparticle collision dynamics is well established. Starting with the specification of the dynamics and the collision model, one may verify its dynamical properties, derive macroscopic laws, and, perhaps most importantly, obtain expressions for the transport coefficients. These features distinguish MPC dynamics from a number of other mesoscopic schemes. In order to describe solute motion in solution, MPC dynamics may be combined with molecular dynamics to construct hybrid schemes that can be used to explore a variety of phenomena. The fact that hydrodynamic interactions are properly accounted for in hybrid MPC-MD dynamics makes it a useful tool for the investigation of polymer and colloid dynamics. Since it is a particle-based scheme it incorporates fluctuations so that the reactive and nonreactive dynamics in small systems where such effects are important can be studied. 

There is considerable interest in the use of discretized path-integral simulations to calculate free energy differences or potentials of mean force using quantum statistical mechanics for many-body systems [140], The reader has already become familiar with this approach to simulating with classical systems in Chap. 7. The theoretical basis of such methods is the Feynmann path-integral representation [141], from which is derived the isomorphism between the equilibrium canonical ensemble of a... 

In ab initio methods (which, by definiton, should not contain empirical parameters), the dynamic correlation energy must be recovered by a true extension of the (single configuration or small Cl) model. This can be done by using a very large basis of configurations, but there are more economical methods based on many-body perturbation theory which allow one to circumvent the expensive (and often impracticable) large variational Cl calculation. Due to their importance in calculations of polyene radical ion excited states, these will be briefly described in Section 4.
