Rayleigh-Schrodinger perturbation theory, many-body

Rayleigh-Schrodinger many-body perturbation theory — RSPT). In this approach, the total Hamiltonian of the system is divided or partitioned into two parts a zeroth-order part, Hq (which has... 

The adiabatic corrections to the ground state of H2, HD, and Di we shall calculate using second-order Rayleigh-Schrodinger many-body perturbation theory (RS-... 

Another approach to the problem of computing the electron correlation energy is the M0ller54-Plesset55 (MP) perturbation theory (which is philosophically akin to the many-body perturbation theory of solid-state physics). The mechanics are the conventional Rayleigh-Schrodinger perturbation theory One introduces a generalized electronic Hamiltonian Hi, where... 

In the work of Brandow [10], Brillouin-Wigner perturbation theory is used as a step in the theoretical development of first Rayleigh-Schrodinger perturbation theory and then the many-body perturbation theory. In the a posteriori correction developed by the present authors in a paper entitled On the use of Brillouin-Wigner... 

We know that the Rayleigh-Schrodinger perturbation theory series leads directly to the many-body perturbation theory by employing the linked diagram theorem. This theory uses factors of the form Eq—Ek) as denominators. Furthermore, this theory is fully extensive it scales linearly with electron number. The second term... 

A key feature of the many-body perturbation theory is the use of the method of second-quantization. We therefore open this section by introducing the second quantization formalism. We then discuss the Rayleigh-Schrddinger perturbation theory in its many-body form, that is, many-body Rayleigh-Schrodinger perturbation theory. We close this section by presenting the many-body perturbation theory with an emphasis on its diagrammatic formulation. 

The application of many-body perturbation theory to molecules involves the direct application of the Rayleigh-Schrodinger formalism with specific choices of reference Hamiltonian. The most familiar of these is that first presented by Mpller and Plesset... 

M0ller-Plesset second-order perturbation theory [78,162] is the most widely used approach to the electron correlation problem in contemporary ab initio molecular electronic structure studies [163-168], For systems which are well described by a single determinantal reference function, this theory - based on the use of Rayleigh-Schrodinger perturbation theory to describe electron correlation corrections to the Hartree-Fock independent electron model - affords an approach which combines accuracy with computational efficiency. The method, which is often designated mp2 , is based on the lowest order of the many-body perturbation theory expansion to take account of correlation effects. 

The key property of many-body methods in general and many-body perturbation theory in particular is recognized as their extensivity or linear scaling with the number of particles in the studied system. Rayleigh-Schrodinger perturbation theory contains terms in each order of the series which scale non-linearly with particle...
