Abstract: | A new type of approximations for many-body Green's functions proposed recently is applied to the particle-particle (pp) propagator for anN-particle fermion system. The new approach which is referred to as the algebraic diagrammatic construction (ADC) is based on an exact resummation of the perturbation series for the pp-propagator in terms of a simple algebraic form introducing energy-independent effective interaction matrix elements and transition amplitudes. These effective quantities are represented by perturbation expansions and can be determined consistently through a given ordern of perturbation theory by comparing the algebraic form with the diagrammatic perturbation series of the pp-propagator through ordern. By this procedure one obtaines a systematic set of approximation schemes (ADC(n)) that represent infinite partial summations for the pp-propagator being complete throughnth order of perturbation theory. The explicit ADC equations forn=1 and 2 are presented and discussed. Comparison is made with the particle-particle random phase approximation (RPA). It is demonstrated that the second-order ADC scheme constitutes an essential step beyond the RPA which is consistent only through first order. |
