CANONICITY CONDITION IN ADIABATIC TIME-DEPENDENT HARTREE-FOCK THEORY

We show how the incorporation of the canonicity condition, which relates the generator of coordinate and momentum, gives the correct Lagrange multiplier needed to complete the proof that the solution of the adiabatic time-dependent Hartree-Fock theory with the consistency condition fulfills the constrained variation principle designating the valley and thus the canonicity condition is, in principle, a normalization requirement rather than a restriction on the adiabatic time-dependent Hartree-Fock path. © 1990 The American Physical Society.
