Abstract

We apply the Pariser-Parr-Pople Hamiltonian to study many-electron excitations in polyenes and polyacetylene. The excited singlet states of polyenes, calculated by a multireference double excitation expansion, are classified as quasi-particle excitations, namely as triplet-triplet magnons and particle-hole excitons. From finite polyene spectra we derive approximate dispersion relations for these quasi-particles in the infinite polyene, i.e. polyacetylene.
