Important Contributions:

  • Explicitly correlated F12 electronic structure theory: Introduction of the Slater-type (exponential) geminal correlation factor; New methods for many-electron integrals using the density fitting and molecular numerical integration techniques; Explicitly correlated methods utilizing the first order cusp conditions for geminal amplitudes (diagonal orbital-invariant SP or FIXED amplitudes Ansatz); Innovation of the rational generator approach for open-shell molecules granting the spin-flipped and internally contracted geminal basis concepts in open-shell and multi-reference F12 electronic structure methods; Four-component relativistic F12 approach.
  • Miscellaneous developments in electronic structure theory: Density fitting utilizing one-center products of orbital basis functions as auxiliary functions; Range-separated density functional theory using the Yukawa potential with Gaussian-type basis functions; Model space quantum Monte Carlo method for the full CI solution of arbitrary excited states with quasi-degeneracy.
  • Theory of solvation: Introduction of a coupled solvation model of the RISM integral equation theory and ab initio electronic structure theory (RISM-SCF method; with F. Hirata and S. Kato); Formulation of a novel integral equation method for molecular liquids based on the distributed partial wave (PW) expansion of the molecular Ornstein-Zernike equation using multi-center rotational invariants.
