Linear scaling computation of the Fock matrix. VIII. Periodic boundaries for exact exchange at the Gamma point.

A translationally invariant formulation of the Hartree-Fock (HF) Gamma-point approximation is presented. This formulation is achieved through introduction of the minimum image convention (MIC) at the level of primitive two-electron integrals, and implemented in a periodic version of the ONX algorithm [E.
