My PhD Thesis is titled Reduced Density Matrix Inspired Approaches to Electronic Structure Theory is available at figshare but you can have a glimpse below.
The work presented in the thesis was done in the Section of Theoretical Chemistry at the VU University in Amsterdam and Center for Superfunctional Materials at Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) in Pohang, South Korea.
The thesis was supervised by Prof. E. J. Baerends and Dr O. V. Gritsenko.
Thesis covers:
Reduced density matrices and their properties
Introduction to the Density Matrix Functional Theory (DMFT) and a survey of exisiting approximations
Basis set superposition effect and the counterpoise correction in intermolecular interactions
The formulation of a density matrix functional for van der Waals interaction of like- and opposite-spin electrons in the helium dimer
