Operators anticommutation relations

Since the field operators satisfy the anticommutation relations (21,129)... 

Here frs and (ri-l tM> are, respectively, elements of one-electron Dirac-Fock and antisymmetrized two-electron Coulomb-Breit interaction matrices over Dirac four-component spinors. The effect of the projection operators is now taken over by the normal ordering, denoted by the curly braces in (15), which requires annihilation operators to be moved to the right of creation operators as if all anticommutation relations vanish. The Fermi level is set at the top of the highest occupied positive-energy state, and the negative-energy states are ignored. 

Following Ziesche [35, 55], in order to develop the theory of cumulants for noncommuting creation and annihilation operators (as opposed to classical variables), we introduce held operators /(x) and / (x) satisfying the anticommutation relations for a Grassmann held. 

Valdemoro [28] achieved a close approximation to the 2-RDM by using the anticommutating relation of fermion operators, or what is equivalent, the 7/-representability conditions. This work indicated that the development of 1-RDM functional theories should be couched in terms of explicitly antisymmetric reconstructions of the 2-RDM. 

The creation operators aj are the hermitian adjoint of the operators a . The properties of a can be inferred from the above equations. From Eq. (1.12) the hermitian conjugated operators are seen to satisfy the anticommutation relation... 

Using Eqs. (4.19) and (4.20a) it is easily verified that the anticommutation relations hold also for the transformed creation- and annihilation-operators. In Eq. (4.19) we have determined a unitary matrix that describes the... 

The operators in the orthonormal basis a satisfies the usual anticommutation relations. We therefore have... 

No signs of nonorthogonality showed up in these formulas. The anticommutation relation between a creation operator and an annihilation operator becomes... 

Show explicitly that the annihilation and creation operators fulfill the anticommutator relations (3 5). 

Second-quantization formalism was introduced into the theory of many-electron atoms by Judd [12]. This formalism enables one to give a simple and elegant description of both the rotation symmetry of a system and its permutational symmetry the tensorial properties of wave functions are translated to electron creation and annihilation operators, and the Pauli exclusion principle stems automatically from the anticommutation relations between these operators. 

Since these two equations hold for any one-determinant wave function, and the functions on the right side of these equations only differ in sign, we arrive at the following anticommutation relation for the creation operators ... 

Subjecting this to Hermitian conjugation, we find that the same anticommutation relation is also obeyed by the annihilation operators... 

The above anticommutation relations for second-quantization operators... 

The anticommutation relations between the electron creation and annihilation operators, accounting for (14.14), become... 

Using second-quantization, it is often necessary to transform complicated tensorial products of creation and annihilation operators. If, to this end, conventional anticommutation relations (14.19) are used, then one proceeds as follows write the irreducible tensorial products in explicit form in terms of the sum over the projection parameters of conventional products of creation and annihilation operators, then place these operators in the required order, and finally sum the resultant expression again over the projection parameters. On the other hand, the use of (14.21) enables the irreducible tensorial products of second-quantization operators to be transformed directly. 

Anticommutation relations (15.51) impose some constraints on the values of ranks of operator W KklcK Multiplying (15.51) by... 

Further we shall show that such linear combinations have a certain rank in the quasispin space of n lN2n2lN2 configuration. The commutation relations between tensors (17.8) or (17.9) are completely defined by the anticommutation relations for creation and annihilation operators. These relations can be written as... 

Using the anticommutation relations (13.15) we can readily verify that these operators obey the conventional commutation relations (14.2) for the irreducible components of the angular momentum operator. Further, from the definition... 

The anticommutation relations (18.8) and (18.9) for the new second-quantization operators a and 5 also hold, which can be readily verified by computing the anticommutators involved. 

All four creation and annihilation operators for electrons in the pairing state (a,/ ) can be expressed via the tensor in (15.38) at various values of the projections v and m. The anticommutation relations (18.8) and... 

We derive from the earlier relations the results of Table 3 for Hermitian conjugation of the operators (in the ordinary sense this Hermitian conjugation action does not conjugate elements of the quasispin matrices), time reversal and their combination. It is necessary where time reversal is involved to assume one-particle spin-orbital states with yl = — 1, so as to use anticommutation relations to reorder the operators this case is taken for the whole table. This shows that for a one-particle state Q(X)a is Hermitian, while time reversal performs a nt rotation about the y-axis of quasispin space. 

To proceed further, we have to know how to handle the products of creation and annihilation operators. It is Wick s theorem which tells us how to deal with the products of these operators. Before presenting Wick s theorem we have to introduce some necessary definitions and relations. The creation and annihilation operators satisfy the anticommutation relation... 

For Y operators the same anticommutation relation can be found as for X operators, i.e. 

Due to the fact that the SLG wave function belongs to the GF approximation (Section 1.7), it is subject to numerous selection rules characteristic of GF. Their explicit form can be easily obtained using the second quantization formalism. Since the operators of electron creation on the right and left HOs satisfy usual anticommutation relations for orthogonal basis and the number of particle operators have the usual form ... 

The basic building blocks of the theory are Heisenberg operators (x) which create and destroy respectively, particles of type m at the space-time point x = x, (x. For the purposes of chemistry we can take the index nzs>e for electrons and a for nuclei only. Of course when energies are much larger than chemical energies, nuclei appear to be composite particles, and we must then introduce fields for their constituents (quarks, rishons). We shall not make any explicit reference to the spins carried by these fields beyond noting that odd-integral spins require fermi statistics, so that for fermi fields we have canonical anticommutation relations (CARS)... 

Before defining nonequilibrium Green s functions, we introduce field operators (e.g., a fermion field) y/ lr) and anticommutator relation t/r(r), t/rt(r )J = 5(r — r ). The Green s function on a Keldysh contour is defined as... 

The basic elements of the second-quantization formalism are the annihilation and creation operators (Linderberg and (3hrn, 1973). The annihilation operator ap annihilates an electron in orbital creation operator ap (the conjugate of ap) creates an electron in orbital p. These operators satisfy the anticommutation relations... 

The operators P and obey the usual equal time anticommutation relations. The time-dependence of the field operators appearing here is due to the Heisenberg representation in the L-space. In view of the foregoing development which parallels the traditional Schrodinger quantum theory we may recast the above Green function in terms of the interaction representation in L-space. This leads to the appearance of the S-matrix defined only for real times. We will now indicate the connection of the above to the closed-time path formulation of Schwinger [27] and Keldysh [28] in H-space. Equation (82) can be explicitly...
