title: Two-electron integrations in the quantum theory of atoms in molecules with correlated wave functions.
abstract: A recent method proposed to compute two-electron integrals over arbitrary regions of space [Martin Pendas, A. et al., J Chem Phys 2004, 120, 4581] is extended to deal with correlated wave functions. To that end, we use a monadic factorization of the second-order reduced density matrix originally proposed by E. R. Davidson [Chem Phys Lett 1995, 246, 209] that achieves a full separation of the interelectronic components into one-electron terms. The final computational effort is equivalent to that found in the integration of a one determinant wave function with as many orbitals as occupied functions in the correlated expansion. Similar strategies to extract the exchange and self-interaction contributions from the two-electron repulsion are also discussed, and several numerical results obtained in a few test systems are summarized.
