The Hartree-Fock Approximation and its Generalizations
Volker Bach
TU Braunschweig
In the talk the Hartree-Fock (HF) approximation in quantum mechanics will be reviewed. The following particular aspect will be discussed:
- Accuracy of the HF approximation,
- Lieb's variational principle and its generalizations,
- generalized HF approximation,
- symmetries and restricted HF approximation.
