FOREWORD
There has been a steady advance of the atomic and molecular many-body methodology over the last few years, with a concomitant development of versatile computer codes. Understanding and interpretation of electronic structural features and the associated spectroscopic properties via many-body techniques are becoming competitive with those obtained with the traditional formalisms. Since the many-body techniques are not yet a part of the repertoire of the "black-box tools" of electronic structure and spectroscopy, it seems worthwhile to take stock now of the recent progress in certain selected areas. The present volume is more in the nature of proceedings of a "Paper Symposium," rather than of one which actually took place. We did organize in Calcutta, between December 10 and 12, 1990, a small meeting on Applied Many-Body Methods to Spectroscopy and Electronic Structure, jointly organized by the Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science and the S.N. Bose National Centre for Basic Sciences. Several leading practitioners were invited, among which some could not come for various reasons. We later decided to publish a volume of a more enhanced scope and invited other experts as well to contribute papers on topics which are related in spirit with the coverage of the meeting. The volume embodies such diverse topics as a modern pedagogical survey of the Bruckner-Goldstone theory, recent progress in the Propagator theories (Multiconfiguration Propagator theories, Algebraic Diagrammatic Construction and studies on photoionization cross-section), Coupled-Cluster approaches to the parity non-conserving processes, Complex Scaling methods for atomic and molecular resonances and other nonstationary states, and recent developments of Effective Hamiltonian formalisms in the framewor
