We develop algebraic geometry for coupled cluster theory using second quantization. The high-dimensional eigenvalue problems that encode the electronic Schrödinger equation are approximated by a hierarchy of polynomial systems at various levels of truncation. The truncated eigenstates parametrize well known varieties such as the Grassmannian, flag varieties and spinor varieties. We will offer a detailed study into the truncation varieties.
