Adiabaticity of time-dependent Hartree-Fock solutions

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., C; (United States)
A tractable method is presented for the study of the adiabaticity of a given time-dependent Hartree-Fock solution. In terms of the Baranger-Veneroni approach, this amounts to extracting the two operators rho/sub 0/ and chi, for which rather simple expressions are derived. These explicit formulas are exploited to illustrate some implications of the adiabatic approximation itself and several related approximations. In particular, the compatibility of two current hypotheses for the chi operator (locality and absence of particle-particle, hole-hole matrix elements) is pointed out. Finally, the whole disucssion is exemplified by the simple case of uniform translational motion.
