Hybrid Treatments Based on Determinant Seniority Numbers and Spatial Excitation Levels in the Configuration Interaction Framework

In this work we project the Hamiltonian of an N-electron system onto a set of N-electron determinants cataloged by their seniority numbers and their excitation levels with respect to a reference determinant. We show that, in open-shell systems, the diagonalization of the N-electron Hamiltonian matri...
