We present an elementary and fairly detailed review of several Green’s function methods for treating nuclear and other many-body systems. We first treat the single-particle Green’s function, by way of which some details concerning linked diagram expansion, rules for evaluating Green’s function diagrams and solution of the Dyson’s integral equation for Green’s function are exhibited. The particle-particle hole-hole (pphh) Green’s function is then considered, and a specific time-blocking technique is discussed. This technique enables us to have a one-frequency Dyson’s equation for the pphh and similarly for other Green’s functions, thus considerably facilitating their calculation. A third type of Green’s function considered is the particle-hole Green’s function. RPA and high order RPA are treated, along with examples for setting up particle-hole RPA equations. A general method for deriving a model-space Dyson’s equation for Green’s functions is discussed. We also discuss a method for determining the normalization of Green’s function transition amplitudes based on its vertex function. Some applications of Green’s function methods to nuclear structure and recent deep inelastic lepton-nucleus scattering are addressed.

Abstract Quasi-particles described by Green‘s functions of equilibrium systems exhibit non-Hermitian topological phenomena because of their finite lifetime. This non-Hermitian perspective on equilibrium systems provides new insights into correlated systems and attracts much interest because of its potential to solve open questions in correlated compounds. We provide a concise review of the non-Hermitian topological band structures for quantum many-body systems in equilibrium, as well as their classification.

AbstractInstead of emphasizing the ground state as is done in Green's function method, we take a finite-dimensional subspace of the Hilbert space: the space of the "intermediate states". A systematic introduction of intermediate states is effected by an extension of the method of generating functionals: we combine the generating functionals of the n-point Green's functions to a "matrix functional" T, and form new matrix functionals, which are matrix functions of T. The aim of this paper is to develop the functional calculus in such a way that the transition from scalar functionals to matrix functionals is straightforward, and the method of obtaining further results becomes clear. Following the lines of Dürr and Wagner we get u η-and ζ-rules with intermediate states". Using them we define a truncation procedure for the equations of motion of the n-point Green's functions, the "New Tamm-Dancoff method with intermediate states". This extension makes it possible to treat the effect of nearby levels in many body systems with Green's functions. In ad-dition to well-known approximations, such as the Hartree-Fock and the Hartree-Bogoliubov theory, the RPA and the quasiparticle RPA, we obtain a series of new approximations. Among these are the "Hartree-Fock theory with intermediate states" and the "random-phase approximation with intermediate states", which we already applied with great success to some exactly soluble models.

In order to account for competition and interplay of localized and itinerant magnetic behaviour in correlated many body systems with complex spectra the various types of spin-fermion models have been considered in the context of the Irreducible Green's Functions (IGF) approach. Examples are generalised d–f model and Kondo–Heisenberg model. The calculations of the quasiparticle excitation spectra with damping for these models has been performed in the framework of the equation-of-motion method for two-time temperature Green's Functions within a non-perturbative approach. A unified scheme for the construction of Generalised Mean Fields (elastic scattering corrections) and self-energy (inelastic scattering) in terms of the Dyson equation has been generalised in order to include the presence of the two interacting subsystems of localised spins and itinerant electrons. A general procedure is given to obtain the quasiparticle damping in a self-consistent way. This approach gives the complete and compact description of quasiparticles and show the flexibility and richness of the generalised spin-fermion model concept.
