Nonunitary effects in the time evolution of one-body observables

Maria Carolina Nemes, A. F. R. de Toledo Piza

We present a formal derivation of the exact dynamics of the one-body density matrix. Its essential ingredients are shown to be the following: (a) a mean field unitary time evolution; (b) irreducible nonunitary corrections to the unitary evolution (collision effects); and (c) effects due to the time evolution of initial state correlation [which contribute to both (a) and (b)]. In the weak coupling limit the collision effects give rise to a term of Boltzmann form. A qualitative discussion of the importance of collision effects for the expectation values of one-body operators and a quantitative illustration in the framework of an exactly soluble model are given. In this case one finds large nonunitary contributions.NUCLEAR STRUCTURE Exact microscopic description of the time evolution of the one body density matrix.

Calculation of the propagation amplitude in the case of a Coulomb interaction via time-independent mean-field theory

Rabia Yekken, Feriel Mekideche

The exact study of many-body microscopic systems is impossible when the number of particles is large (N ≥ 3). Approximate methods are then used. The time-independent mean-field (TIMF) approximation has been proposed for the description of collisions in many-body systems. Collision amplitudes are derived by the use of a variational principle and the choice of trial functions as products of single-particle orbitals. Resulting mean-field equations with a nonvanishing right-hand side turn out to be a generalization of the traditional Hartree or Hatree–Fock type equations. These TIMF equations are successfully solved numerically for the case of short-range forces. In this paper, we test the validity of this theory for the Coulomb interaction between two particles, that is, a long-range interaction. A numerical comparison between the exact and the mean-field solutions is conducted PACS Nos.: 31.15.Ne, 31.15.Pf, 21.45.+v,25.10.-i

Finite temperatureSU(3) LMG model: mean-field versus exact calculation

Constança Providência, João da Providência, Maisa O. Terra

A variational approach is applied to the description of temperature effects in a N-particle exactly soluble schematic model, with SU(3) symmetry. The ground-state energy for different couplings and the strength distribution for a weak coupling versus temperature are compared with the exact results. For a weak coupling, or for a large enough N, the mean-field approximation agrees well with the exact values. For , new RPA modes appear which did not exist at T = 0.
