Towards optimal correlation factors for many-electron perturbation theories — •Andreas Grüneis — Max-Planck-Institut für Festkörperforschung, Stuttgart, Germany — Universität Wien, Vienna, Austria

Many electron perturbation theories such as the coupled-cluster method form a hierarchy of increasingly accurate approximations to the electronic ground state wave function. This presentation will overview recent progress in applying coupled-cluster methods to solids and techniques to reduce their computational cost such as explicit correlation methods [1,2]. Furthermore applications to archetypal solid state systems as well as the uniform electron gas model system will be discussed [3].
