Core polarization in coupled-cluster theory induced by a parity and time-reversal violating interaction

Abstract

The effects of parity and time reversal violating potential, in particular the tensor-pseudotensor electron nucleus interaction are studied. We establish that selected terms representing the interplay of these effects and the residual Coulomb interaction in the coupled-cluster method are equivalent to the coupled perturbed Hartree-Fock. We have shown that the {\em normal} CPHF diagrams have a one-one correspondance in the coupled-cluster theory, but the CPHF pseudo diagrams are present in a subtle way. We have studied the {\em pseudo} diagrams in great detail and have shown explicitly their origin in coupled-cluster theory. This is demonstrated by considering the case of the permanent electric dipole moment of atomic Hg and our results are compared with the results of an earlier calculation.
