Representations of Shavitt Graphs Within the Graphical Unitary Group Approach
Abstract
The Shavitt graph is a visual representation of a distinct row table (DRT) within the graphical unitary group approach. The DRT is a compact representation of the entire configuration state function expansion space within a molecular electronic structure calculation. Each node of the graph is associated with an integer triple (ak, bk, ck). These integers may be mapped to other quantum numbers, including the number of orbitals, number of electrons, and spin quantum number, and used to display Shavitt graphs in various ways that emphasize different aspects of the expansion space or that reveal different aspects of computed wave functions. In conclusion, the features of several graph density plots are discussed, including electron-hole symmetries and the bonding-antibonding wave function character.
