Abstract

The connections between open shell Brillouin–Wigner perturbation theory and the Van Vleck unitary transformation formalisms for generating effective Hamiltonians are explored. An explicit expression is obtained relating the generator Ŝ of the unitary transformation e^iŝ^ with the amplitudes to be found from perturbation theory. The “renormalization effects” needed to produce the explicit “orthogonal‐Hermitian” form of the effective Hamiltonian in perturbation theory are related directly to the generator of the unitary transformation. The conclusions reached previously by Jørgensen and Brandow regarding the identity of the effective Hamiltonians of the formalisms are explicitly verified for the case that the generator Ŝ satisfied the Kemble condition. The procedure suggests how the powerful techniques of perturbation theory can be used within the unitary transformation framework to guarantee properly renormalized wave functions.
