Particle-hole formalism

We express the one-body operator \( \hat{H}_0 \) in terms of the quasi-particle creation and annihilation operators, resulting in $$ \begin{eqnarray} \hat{H}_0 &=& \sum_{\alpha\beta > F} \langle \alpha|\hat{h}_0|\beta\rangle b_\alpha^\dagger b_\beta + \sum_{\begin{array}{c} \alpha > F \\ \beta \leq F \end{array}} \left[ \langle \alpha|\hat{h}_0|\beta\rangle b_\alpha^\dagger b_\beta^\dagger + \langle \beta|\hat{h}_0|\alpha\rangle b_\beta b_\alpha \right] \nonumber \\ &+& \sum_{\alpha \leq F} \langle \alpha|\hat{h}_0|\alpha\rangle - \sum_{\alpha\beta \leq F} \langle \beta|\hat{h}_0|\alpha\rangle b_\alpha^\dagger b_\beta \tag{77} \end{eqnarray} $$ The first term gives contribution only for particle states, while the last one contributes only for holestates. The second term can create or destroy a set of quasi-particles and the third term is the contribution from the vacuum state \( |c\rangle \).
