Sinopsis

Uncover how Green's functions bridge many-body theory and the Thomas-Fermi model, starting from Hartree-Fock and moving to corrections that include exchange and inhomogeneity.

This work presents a systematic derivation that starts from the quantum many-body equations and shows how the Thomas-Fermi density appears as the leading term. It uses the Green's function formalism to connect ground-state properties with a practical, mixed position-momentum representation, and it discusses how higher-order corrections can be generated and interpreted. The discussion keeps the focus on core ideas while outlining how correlation effects might be included in future extensions.


  • See how the Hartree-Fock approximation arises from the antisymmetric product of one-particle Green's functions.

  • Learn how the zeroth-order term yields the Thomas-Fermi density and how the density is recovered from Green's functions.

  • Understand how exchange and inhomogeneity effects appear together in the first non-vanishing correction to the Thomas-Fermi model.

  • Explore the role of the mixed representation and the infinite-order differential operator that connects the Green's function to the original equations.



Ideal for readers of quantum many-body theory, atomic structure, and theoretical physics who want a clear path from a foundational model to its quantum corrections.

Excerpt from The Green's Function Method for Quantum Corrections to the Thomas-Fermi Model of the Atom

The thomas-fermi model of the atom developed historically from reasonable physical assumptions about the nature of an atomic system. Because, however, the development was not a systematic derivation from the many body schrsdinger equation, it was difficult to incorporate corrections for certain higher order effects. Thus.

Excerpt from The Green's Function Method for Quantum Corrections to the Thomas-Fermi Model of the Atom

A systematic method is presented for deriving the Thomas-Fermi equation for an atom and the quantum corrections from the many body description. The novel feature of the method is that it does not require any a priori assumptions about the distribution of the electrons in phase space but shows instead that the distribution which is usually assumed is a direct consequence of specifying that the many particle system is in its ground state. The procedure used in the derivation is the expansion of the mixed position-momentum representation of the Green's function in a series of powers of h. The lowest order term is found to correspond with the Thomas-Fermi density. The form of the higher order terms, which are to be considered as corrections to zeroth order term, depends on the approximations made in the many body equations for obtaining the Green's function. This paper deals only with the Hartree-Fock approximation, but the methods presented here allow generalization to other approximations which can include correlation effects.
