Stiefel And Grassmann Manifolds In Quantum Chemistry, Eduardo Chiumiento, Michael Melgaard

Articles

We establish geometric properties of Stiefel and Grassmann manifolds which arise in relation to Slatertype variational spaces in many-particle Hartree-Fock theory and beyond. In particular, we prove thatthey are analytic homogeneous spaces and submanifolds of the space of bounded operators on the single-particle Hilbert space. As a by-product we obtain that they are complete Finsler manifolds. These geometric properties underpin state-of-the-art results on existence of solutions to Hartree-Fock type equations.

Abstract Criteria For Multiple Solutions To Nonlinear Coupled Equations Involving Magnetic Schrodinger Operators, Mattias Enstedt, Michael Melgaard

Articles

We consider a system of nonlinear coupled equations involving magnetic Schrodinger

operators and general potentials. We provide a criteria for the existence of multiple

solutions to these equations. As special cases we get the classical results on

existence of innitely many distinct solutions within Hartree and Hartree-Fock

theory of atoms and molecules subject to an external magnetic fields. We also

extend recent results within this theory, including Coulomb system with a constant

magnetic field, a decreasing magnetic field and a "physically measurable" magnetic field.
