Abstract

The technique of inner projection is used for the first time in a chemical context, namely for the study of the ground state energy of the Pariser-Parr-Pople model of the benzene molecule. The lower bound for the energy is calculated for three types of parametrization. These results are compared with the “exact” energies which are obtained from full configuration interaction. It is shown that the inner projection technique provides very good lower bounds for the energy. In addition, we compare these inner projection results with those obtained by other approximative techniques, namely with the results of the Coupled Pair Many Electron Theory. A discussion of the application of the method of intermediate hamiltonians and the inner projection technique is also included.
