Abstract

Spin multiplicity formulae for the correlated Many Body Perturbation Theory (MBPT) and Coupled Cluster (CC) methods based upon an unrestricted Hartree Fock (UHF) reference function are presented and applied to evaluate the multiplicity in calculations of first row atoms. Spin projection in CC theory is discussed.
