Abstract
A hole-particle version of the unitary group approach to the many-electron correlation problem is given. To achieve a unique state labeling, the subgroup chain of Flores and Moshinsky for the nuclear many-body problem is modified, and the rules for the construction of relevant irreducible representations and of the orthonormal spinadapted states are given. The structure of these hole-particle formalism spin-adapted bases is illustrated on several examples for all the three possible types of the hole-particle defect pertaining to the excitation, electron attachment, or detachment processes relative to the reference state used. The tensor character of the particle formalism electron-number-preserving generators is pointed out, and their basic classification in the hole-particle formalism is given.
