Many body perturbation theory first derivatives

The Mpller-Plesset (MP) treatment of electron correlation [84] is based on perturbation theory, a very general approach used in physics to treat complex systems [85] this particular approach was described by M0ller and Plesset in 1934 [86] and developed into a practical molecular computational method by Binkley and Pople [87] in 1975. The basic idea behind perturbation theory is that if we know how to treat a simple (often idealized) system then a more complex (and often more realistic) version of this system, if it is not too different, can be treated mathematically as an altered (perturbed) version of the simple one. Mpller-Plesset calculations are denoted as MP, MPPT (M0ller-Plesset perturbation theory) or MBPT (many-body perturbation theory) calculations. The derivation of the Mpller-Plesset method [88] is somewhat involved, and only the flavor of the approach will be given here. There is a hierarchy of MP energy levels MPO, MP1 (these first two designations are not actually used), MP2, etc., which successively account more thoroughly for interelectronic repulsion. 

The Thomas-Fermi kinetic energy density Ckp(r)5/3 derives directly from the first term on the RHS of Eq. (17), the Dirac exchange energy density —cxp(r)4/3 coming from the second term. Many-body perturbation theory on this state, in which electrons are fully delocalized, yields a precise result [36,37] for the correlation energy Ec in the high-density limit as A In rs + B, where for present purposes the correlation energy is defined as the difference between the true...

The purpose of the present review is threefold Firstly, we want to address the formal relationship between the density-functional effective one-particle potential and the non-local, energy-dependegt self-energy as derived from the many-body perturbation theory j. jthis we elaborate in sec. II on recently introduced results In particular, the general structure of many-body... 

The first approximation to the many-electron theory of atoms and molecules was derived by solving Eq. (64) with the H.F. using operator techniques. The development of Brueckner s theory of nuclear matter and other many-body theories also made much use of perturbation formalism. 

On the other hand, the orbital-dependent treatment of correlation represents a much more serious challenge than that of exchange The systematic derivation of such functionals via standard many-body theory leads to rather complicated expressions. Their rigorous application within the OPM not only requires the evaluation of Coulomb matrix elements between the complete set of KS states, but, in principle, also relies on the knowledge of higher order response functions. In practical calculations, these first-principles functionals necessarily turn out to be rather inefficient, even if they are only treated perturbatively. In addition, the potential resulting from a large class of such functionals is non-physical for finite systems. Both problems are related to the presence of unoccupied states in the functionals which seems inevitable as soon as some variant of standard many-body theory is used for the derivation. 

Accuracy of the SLG approximation can be improved by perturbation theory. Second quantization provides us a powerful tool in developing a many-body theory suitable to derive interbond delocalization and correlation effects. The first question concerns the partitioning of the Hamiltonian to a zeroth-order part and perturbation. LFsing a straightforward generalization of the Moller-Plesset (1934) partitioning, the zeroth-order Hamiltonian is chosen as the sum of the effective intrabond Hamiltonians ...
