• Abstract: Standard many-body perturbation theory (MBPT) using a quadratic zeroth-order Hamiltonian is a cornerstone of many \emph{ab initio} computational methods for molecules and materials. However, this perturbation expansion can break down in the presence of strong electron correlation, which occurs in many scenarios such as the bond dissociation of molecules in chemical reactions. In this work, we developed a generalized (time-dependent) MBPT for computing electron correlation energies, in which the zeroth-order Hamiltonian can be interacting and hence the zeroth-order reference state is a multi-determinant wavefunction instead of a single Slater determinant in general. This allows us to take strong correlation into account from the outset and treat the residual weak interaction by diagrammatic perturbation expansion. Using this framework, we formulated a multi-reference (MR) generalization of the standard single-reference (SR) random phase approximation (RPA) for the electron correlation energy by resumming generalized ring diagrams including cumulant contributions, which naturally leads to a set of unified equations that work in both SR and MR cases. To further include exchange effects, we also derived a multi-reference second-order screened exchange (SOSEX) correction from a coupled-cluster perspective of the resulting MR-RPA. Applications to prototypical molecules demonstrate that MR-RPA/SOSEX successfully resolves the well-known failure of the conventional SR-RPA/SOSEX for molecular dissociation. Our work bridges MBPT in condensed matter physics and multi-reference perturbation theory in quantum chemistry, opening up new possibilities for advancing computational methods for the electron correlation energy via diagrammatic resummation.
