Dear J=FCrgen, dear all

the = problem of defining static vs. dynamical correlations is not an = easy
one. I have discussed it many times with my physicists = colleagues and the
consensus (for whatever this is worth) is that = dynamic correlations are
defined by virtual excitations with = well-defined, nonzero energy
differences. Following this trail of = thoughts the =93measure=94 of the character
of the correlations is = the energy difference of the Slater determinants in
the CI expansion. = This is also consistent with the fact that for static
correlations = one needs multi-reference expansions. This is also connected to
the = self-energy, in that the static correlations stem from its = imaginary
part while dynamic mainly originate from its real part. =  I am not sure I
completely understand this, however. My = interpretation is that since the
static correlations have no energy = difference in the denominator of the
Green=92s function, they can = only be imaginary thus leading to broadening,
while the energy = shifting comes from the real part. In view of this I
probably agree = with the statement that static correlations mean basically
splitting = while dynamic basically shifting.

What do you think?

Best = regards
Georg
