Pseudo-BCS wave function from density matrix decomposition: Application in auxiliary-field quantum Monte Carlo

We present a method to construct pseudo-BCS wave functions from the one-body density matrix. The resulting many-body wave function, which can be produced for any fermion systems, including those with purely repulsive interactions, has the form of a number-projected BCS form, or antisymmetrized gemin...
