✦ Synopsis
A new approach, motivated by Fock space localization, for constructing a reduced many-particle Hilbert space is proposed and tested. The self-consistent Hartree -Fock approach is used to obtain a single-electron basis from which the many-particle Hilbert space is constructed. For a given size of the truncated many particle Hilbert space, only states with the lowest number of particle -hole excitations are retained and exactly diagonalized. This method is shown to be more accurate than previous truncation methods, while there is no additional computational complexity.

The uniform electron fluid is the reference model for density functional calculations. Even for this system, many-body perturbation theory, and related methods become questionable when the density parameter r s exceeds unity. Hence, quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) simulation has been almost the only appli
