Abstract

We show that the expression derived by Kuo et al. to sum the particle-hole ring diagrams yields the quasi-boson correlation energy. This requires correction for double counting in second order. For the particle-particle ring series we give expressions for the correlation energy, wave function, norm and occupation probabilities and show that the quasi-boson approximation is valid. The formulae are illustrated by simple models.
