The utilization of abelian point group symmetry in the graphical unitary group approach to the calculation of correlated electronic wavefunctions

A procedure is described for the utilization of abelian point group symmetry in the graphical unitary group approach (GUGA) to calculations of correlated electronic wavefunctions. The procedure is based on a recursively computed set of symmetry dependent counting indices, and results in the separate numbering, without gaps, of the Gelfand states (configuration functions) belonging to each symmetry species

Graphically Contracted Function Construction with the Recursive Pairwise Merge Algorithm

A new implementation of a recursive pairwise merge algorithm to construct a GCF from a list of CSF expansion coefficients is presented. The essential new feature is the preallocation of some work arrays used within the intermediate steps of the merge procedure. This results in roughly an order of magnitude improvement in overall efficiency and also approximately eliminates a factor of n, the molecular orbital dimension, from the original implementation. Initial application of this merge procedure to a series of H m molecules shows that the GCF wave functions can be represented well both with delocalized canonical Hartree-Fock orbitals and with localized molecular orbitals. Finally, for a given wave function complexity, as measured by the average facet count, $\bar{\text {f}}$, the delocalized Hartree-Fock orbitals show smaller errors for small $\bar{\text {f}}$ values, while the localized orbitals show smaller errors for larger $\bar{\text {f}}$ values.

The unitary group and the electron correlation problem

A survey is given of the background and development of the unitary group approach and its graphically-based implementations for electronic structure calculations. The nature of the unitary group and its relationship to the electronic many-body problem are briefly discussed, as well as the reasons, purpose, and methodology of its application to this problem. As much as possible, this discussion is on a mostly intuitive, non-technical level. Finally, recent accomplishments and expected future developments are briefly mentioned.
