The method of increments is a wavefunction-based ab initio correlation method for solids, which explicitly calculates the many-body wavefunction of the system. After a Hartree-Fock treatment of the infinite system the correlation energy of the solid is expanded in terms of localised orbitals or of a group of localised orbitals. The method of increments has been applied to a great variety of materials with a band gap, but in this paper the extension to metals is described. The application to solid mercury is presented, where we achieve very good agreement of the calculated ground-state properties with the experimental data.

In self-consistent mean-field approaches, the description of odd-mass nuclei requires to break the time-reversal invariance of the underlying one-body hamiltonian. This induces a polarization of the even-even core to which the odd nucleon is added. To properly describe the pairing correlations (in T = 1 and T = 0 channels) in such nuclei, we implement the particle-number conserving Higher Tamm–Dancoff approximation with a residual δ interaction in each isospin channel by restricting the many-body basis to two-particle–two–hole excitations of pair type (nn, pp and np) on top of the Hartree–Fock solution. We apply this approach to the calculation of two ground-state properties of well-deformed nuclei |Tz| = 1 nuclei around 24 Mg and 48 Cr , namely the isovector odd-even binding-energy difference and the magnetic dipole moment, focusing on the impact of pairing correlations.

The zero-temperature ground state properties of experimental 87Rb condensate are studied in a harmonic plus quartic trap [ V(r) =  ½mω2r2 + λr4 ]. The anharmonic parameter (λ) is slowly tuned from harmonic to anharmonic. For each choice of λ, the many-particle Schrödinger equation is solved using the potential harmonic expansion method and determines the lowest effective many-body potential. We utilize the correlated two-body basis function, which keeps all possible two-body correlations. The use of van der Waals interaction gives realistic pictures. We calculate kinetic energy, trapping potential energy, interaction energy, and total ground state energy of the condensate in this confining potential, modelled experimentally. The motivation of the present study is to investigate the crucial dependency of the properties of an interacting quantum many-body system on λ. The average size of the condensate has also been calculated to observe how the stability of repulsive condensate depends on anharmonicity. In particular, our calculation presents a clear physical picture of the repulsive condensate in an anharmonic trap.

We investigate some properties of coupled eigenvalue equations in the random phase approximation for fundamental modes of motion in a nuclear many-body system undergoing several separable two-body interactions. Based on the Sturm's method, a new algorithm is proposed for solving such coupled secular equations and for testing the stability condition of the Hartree-Fock ground state. A transition strength in general is expressed in a compact form and, in a restricted case, a continuous strength function is constructed by averaging with a Lorentzian distribution function.
