Abstract
A local-orbital-based ab initio approach to calculate correlation effects on quasi-particle energies in insulating solids is presented. The use of localized Wannier-type Hartree–Fock orbitals allows correlation effects to be efficiently assessed. First a Green's function approach based on exact diagonalization is introduced and this is combined with an incremental scheme, while subsequently different levels of perturbative approximations are derived from the general procedure. With these methods the band structure of LiF is calculated and good agreement with experiment is found. By comparing the different approximations proposed, including the exact diagonalization procedure, their relative quality is established.
