1 Excited states and tp propagator for fermions So far sp propagator gave access to E 0 Ground-state energy and all expectation values of 1-body operators E +1 Energies in +1 relative to ground state n E0 with corresponding addition amplitudes E 0 E 1 Energies in -1 relative to ground state m with corresponding removal amplitudes (& spectroscopic factors) Time to consider energies of excited states amplitudes identifying collective behavior and transition Additional information that may lead to improved description of self-energy and corresponding sp propagator Tp propagator contains information about excited states E k Instead of 4 times, only two-time version required

2 Tp propagator for excited states Relevant limit of four-time tp propagator G ph (, 1 ;, 1 ; t t ) lim t t + lim G II ( t, t, t, t ) t t + = i 0 T[a H (t)a H (t)a H (t )a H (t )] 0 involves time-reversed states and hole operators required for proper coupling to good total angular momentum Time-reversal operator generates time-reversed state T = i 0 T[b H (t)a H (t)a H (t )b H (t )] Form depends on chosen basis: particle with spin and momentum T p,m s p,m s =( 1) 1 2 +m s p, m s Contains product of unitary operator and complex conjugation 0 This unitary operator R y ( ): parity x rotation plus phase choice

3 Time-reversal Time-reversed states have bar over sp quantum numbers For fermions T = = Introduce operators that add or remove holes Making a hole b = a In sp basis of example b p,m s a p,ms =( 1) 1 2 +m s a p, ms Hole with momentum requires removal of particle with p,m s p, m s Consider coordinate space basis or angular momentum We know What about T p op T 1 T r op T 1 T r op p op T 1 T s op T 1 T j op T 1

4 Particle-hole propagator Two times require only one energy variable for FT Consider G ph (, 1 ;, 1 ; t t )= i 0 a a 0 0 a a 0 where ground-state contribution has been isolated since it is already contained in sp propagator Introduce polarization propagator to focus on excited states i (t t )e i (E 0 E n )(t t ) 0 a a n n a a n =0 + n =0 (t t)e i (E 0 E n )(t t) 0 a a n n a a 0 (, 1 ;, 1 ; t t )=G ph (, 1 ;, 1 ; t t )+ i 0 a a 0 0 a a 0 0

5 Familiar step Boson-like propagator FT polarization propagator Denominator: excitation energies for particles umerator: one-body transition amplitudes For example n Ô Ô = 0 2 = (, 1 ;, 1 ; E) = = O a a n =0 n =0 O O d(t t ) e i E(t t ) (, 1 ;, 1 ; t t ) 0 a a n n a a 0 E (E n E 0 )+i 0 a a n n a a 0 E +(E n E 0 ) i generates transition probability n a a 0 n a a 0 Most relevant for studying excited states ote information in second term

6 oninteracting polarization propagator Evaluate noninteracting limit replacing (0) (, 1 ;, 1 ; t t )=G (0) ph (, 1 ;, 1 ; t Employ sp basis in which H 0 is diagonal Excited states also eigenstates of Ĥ 0 (Ch. 3) Then oting Kramer s degeneracy for fermions Collect Ĥ 0 a a Ĥ by Ĥ0 and 0 by 0 t )+ i 0 a a 0 0 a a 0 0 = ( F ) (F ) + E 0 a a (0) (, 1 ;, 1 ; t t )= i (t t ) ( F ) (F ),, e i( )(t t )/ + (t t) (F ) ( F ),, e i( )(t t)/ Interpretation: first term represents independent propagation of a particle with from t to t and a hole from t to t so (ph) Second term reverses t and t and sp quantum numbers so (hp) = 0

7 Part a) forward propagation Part b) backward propagation Graphics Represented by noninteracting sp propagators Appropriate on account of being able to write (check) FT Or: (0) (, 1 ;, 1 ; t t )= i G (0) (, ; t t )G (0) (, ; t t) (0) (, 1 ;, 1 ; E) =,, ( F ) (F ) E ( )+i (0) (, 1 ;, 1 ; E) = check using contour integration Poles: excited states of noninteracting system Symmetric around 0 Feynman diagram for both terms (F ) ( F ) E +( ) i de 2 i G(0) (, ; E + E )G (0) (, ; E ),, (0) (, 1 ; E)

8 Random phase approximation (RPA) Higher-order terms can be evaluated using Wick s theorem as discussed in Ch. 9 (more general for 4 times) Either terms that dress the noninteracting sp propagators or terms that represent interaction between initial and final ph state Illustrated in first order in time formulation (1) (, 1 ;, 1 ; t t i 2 1 )= dt 1 V µ 4 µ 0 T a (t 1 )a (t 1)a (t 1 )a µ (t 1 )a (t)a (t)a (t )a (t ) 0 In HF basis dressing corrections vanish Keep interaction term (1) (, 1 ;, 1 ; t t ) (i ) 2 dt 1 µ V µ G (0) (, ; t t 1 )G (0) (µ, ; t 1 t)g (0) (, ; t 1 t )G (0) (, ; t t 1 )
