Abstract: We provide the first rigorous study of the finite-size error in the simplest and representative coupled cluster theory, namely the coupled cluster doubles (CCD) theory, for gapped periodic systems. Assuming that the CCD equations are solved using exact Hartree-Fock orbitals and orbital energies, we prove that the convergence rate of finite-size error scales as mathscrO(Nmathbfk−frac13), where Nmathbfk is the number of discretization point in the Brillouin zone and characterizes the system size. Our analysis shows that the dominant error lies in the coupled cluster amplitude calculation, and the convergence of the finite-size error in energy calculations can be boosted to mathscrO(Nmathbfk−1) with accurate amplitudes. This also provides the first proof of the scaling of the finite-size error in the third order M{o}ller-Plesset perturbation theory (MP3) for periodic systems.
