3. "Molecular orbitals" are a single-particle concept and not defined in a many-body theory. Instead we define the "HOMO resonance" as the addition spectrum peak corresponding to the N - 1 → N electronic transition of the molecule, where N is the number of electrons in the neutral molecule. Similarly, we define the "LUMO resonance" as the addition spectrum peak corresponding to the N → N + 1 transition.
