Abstract
In this paper, we outline a simple method whereby the antisymmetry of the wave function can be incorporated exactly in the Jastrow many-body theory. Applications of this method to the “homework problem” for neutron matter using the hypernetted-chain approximation give results in very good agreement with the Fermi-hypernetted chain approximation calculations of Fantoni and Rosati. The calculations for liquid3He at a Fermi wave numberk F=0.75 Å−1 give results close to the Monte Carlo calculations of Ceperley, Chester, and Kalos.
