Erweiterung der Neuen Tamm-Dancoff-Methode auf Phasen- übergänge in Vielteilchensystemen / Extension of the New Tamm-Dancoff Method to Phase Transitions in Many-Body Systems
Abstract We extend the New Tamm-Dancoff method by introducing intermediate states. In this way we are able to treat with the Green's function method the effect of nearby levels in many-body systems. We formulate the η-and the ζ-function method with intermediate states. Aldready in first order, the ζ-function method yields a whole series of new approximations in addition to known theories such as the Hartree-Fock theory and the Hartree-Bogoliubov theory. As an example we study intensively "the Hartree-Fock theory with intermediate states". The ζ-function method which is based on the η-function method yields in first order in addition to RPA, quasi-particle RPA and other approximations "RPA with intermediate states". We apply the Hartree-Fock theory with intermediate states and RPA with intermediate states to the exactly solvable Lipkin model.
