The Many-Body Problem 671
H.6 The Dyson Equation
This is the starting point for many approximations both diagrammatic, and algebraic. Dyson’s equation can be regarded as a generalization of the partial sum technique used in the Hartree and Hartree–Fock approximations. It is exact. To state Dyson’s equation we need a couple of definitions. The self-energy part of a diagram is a diagram that has no incoming or outgoing parts and can be inserted into a particle line. The bubbles of the Hartree method are an example. An irreducible or proper self-energy part is a part that cannot be further reduced into unconnected self-energy parts. It is common to define
Σ
as the sum over all proper self-energy parts. Then one can sum over all repetitions of sigma (∑k,ω) to get
1
=
–1
– Σ
Dyson’s equation yields an exact expression for the propagator,
G(k,ω) = |
1 |
, |
(H.11) |
ω −εk − ∑l(occ.) (k,ω) + iδk |
since all diagrams are either proper diagrams or their repetition. In the Hartree approximation
Σ≈
and in the Hartree–Fock approximation
Σ≈ +
Although the Dyson equation is in principle exact, one still has to evaluate sigma, and this is in general not possible except in some approximation.
We cannot go into more detail here. We have given accurate results for the high and low-density electron gas in Chap. 2. In general, the ideas of Feynman diagrams and the many-body problem merit a book of their own. We have found the book by Mattuck [A.14] to be particularly useful, but note the list of references at the end of this section. We have used some ideas about diagrams when we discussed superconductivity.
