Relativistic Many—Body Perturbation Theory of Atomic and Molecular Electronic Structure

  • Chapter
The Effects of Relativity in Atoms, Molecules, and the Solid State

Abstract

Over the past thirty years, the many—body perturbation theory has emerged as one of the principal techniques for attacking the electron correlation problem in atoms and molecules. When formulated within the algebraic approximation (that is, the approximation in which the single particle state functions are parametrized by expansion in some finite set of basis functions transforming the integro—differential Hartree—Fock equations into a set of algebraic equations for the expansion coefficients) the many—body perturbation expansion (Wilson and Silver 1976, Wilson 1984 and references therein) is a particularly accurate, flexible and efficient procedure.
