TLDR
In this paper, the consistency of the random phase approximation and its generalizations are reviewed and a special attention is given to the ground state correlation energy problem as reflected in the calculation of chemical bond energies.
Abstract
Recent results concerning the consistency of the random phase approximation and its generalizations are reviewed. Particular attention is given to the ground state correlation energy problem as reflected in the calculation of chemical bond energies.

Electron-vibrational dynamics of photoexcited polyfluorenes.

TL;DR: A theoretical investigation of the dynamics and relaxation of photoexcited states in conjugated polyfluorenes, which are promising materials for display applications and it is demonstrated that dimerization such as spiro-linking does not affect the emission properties of molecules.

Absence of Mott Transition in an Exact Solution of the Short-Range, One-Band Model in One Dimension

TL;DR: In this paper, the short-range, one-band model for electron correlations in a narrow energy band is solved exactly in the one-dimensional case, and the ground-state energy, wave function, and chemical potentials are obtained, and it is found that the ground state exhibits no conductor-insulator transition as the correlation strength is increased.

A Collective Description of-Electron Interactions: III. Coulomb Interactions in a Degenerate Electron Gas

TL;DR: In this article, the behavior of the electrons in a dense electron gas is analyzed quantum-mechanically by a series of canonical transformations, and the results are related to the classical density fluctuation approach and Tomonaga's one-dimensional treatment of the degenerate Fermi gas.

A Collective Description of Electron Interactions: II. Collective vs Individual Particle Aspects of the Interactions

TL;DR: In this article, the behavior of the electrons in a dense electron gas is analyzed in terms of their density fluctuations, which are then split into two components, one component associated with the organized oscillation of the system as a whole, the so-called "plasma" oscillation, and the other component representing the random thermal motion of the individual electrons.
