Abstract
We have incorporated the projection operators to the canonical transformation to derive an analytical infinite perturbation-expansion series. This canonical perturbation expansion (CPE) is valid if the unperturbed Hamiltonian and the perturbation can be expressed as and , where is the projection operator corresponding to a group of closely spaced effective one-electron orbital energies with , and if with . We have shown that the CPE is equivalent to the time-dependent perturbation theory. An extremely simple effective Hamiltonian is obtained when the CPE is applied to the -band Hubbard model at the atomic limit. An explicit form of to the eighth order is given, and the magnetic interaction in is of the form of Heisenberg exchange , including far neighbors. We then use this form to compute the antiferromagnetic groundstate energy to the seventh order. Our result is compared with other works.
