Abstract
The cluster expansion for the energy for a system with Bijl-Dingle-Jastrow (BDJ) correlation structure is derived in a new form. It is shown how the theory may be related to the Brueckner-Bethe-Goldstone theory with a particular choice for the correlation operator (or wave matrix) appearing in the BDJ wave function. The three-body cluster terms are discussed. It is shown that these clusters contain a limited class of dispersive terms which may be included in the analysis of the two-body clusters. The three-body clusters are also shown to contain terms which correct for violations of the Pauli principle in the correlation operator.
