Physical Review C

Approximate seniority-dictated boson-quasifermion mapping and derivation of the interacting boson fermion model

Abstract

We derive an approximate boson-quasifermion mapping of a single-j shell-model algebra, applicable to the seniority classification scheme, as an expansion in the ratio of the seniority quantum number to the level degeneracy, with selective summation of higher order terms. The procedure used is an extension of the algebraic technique first applied to the purely bosonic part of the mapping by Bonatsos, Klein, and Li. Only the maps of the generators are needed to derive a Hamiltonian for the interacting boson fermion model (IBFM), and these can be obtained in Hermitian form without having to go through the intermediary of a mapping of the fermion operators. Application of the results is illustrated by a fresh discussion of the so-called exchange interaction of the IBFM. A consistent mapping of the single fermion in terms of bosons and quasifermions is also derived that includes a consideration of the unusual properties of the quasifermions.

Boson mapping of the shell model algebra obtained from a seniority-dictated similarity transformation

H. B. Geyer

The qualitative ideas put forward by Geyer and Lee are given quantitative content by constructing a similarity transformation which reexpresses the Dyson boson images of the single-$j$ shell fermion operators in terms of seniority bosons. It is shown that the results of Otsuka, Arima, and Iachello, or generalizations thereof which include $g$ bosons or even bosons with $J>4$, can be obtained in an economic and transparent way without resorting to any comparison of matrix elements.

The one nucleon transfer operator in the microscopic IBM without NOA

José Barea, Clara E. Alonso, J. M. Arias

The mapping of the single fermion creation operator (ci†) onto the Interacting Boson–Fermion space (IBFM) is revisited within the Generalized Seniority scheme. In the original work the Number Operator Approximation (NOA) was used. Here the exact evaluation of the relevant terms using exact values for the fermion matrix elements in the Generalized Seniority scheme is worked out. This provides a new, improved, single particle transfer operator to be used in IBFM.

Microscopic Foundations of the Interacting Boson Model from the Shell-Model Point of View

Naotaka Yoshinaga, T. Mizusaki, Akito Arima +1 more

The validity of the essential ingredients of the microscopic formulation of the interacting boson model: (i) truncation of the shell-model or fermion space and (ii) the procedures for mapping the truncated fermion space on to the boson space, is tested over various (spherical, deformed and transitional) regions both in the simplistic single j-shell, identical boson sys­ tems and the more realistic multi j-shell, proton-neutron systems depending on the feasibility of such calculations. In the situations where the truncation and mapping procedures fail to reproduce the exact shell-model results, it is demonstrated that renormalization and higher order mapping procedures cure the associated problems, respectively and provide excellent agreements. In addition, a Hamiltonian of the interacting boson-fermion model which is relevant for a study of odd mass nuclei is derived for a single j-shell case in the shell-model framework, which yields results identical to those in the shell-model for the monopole pairing interaction.

Seniority mapping of single fermion operators

H. B. Geyer, Iain Morrison

We discuss the construction of ideal space seniority images of single fermion operators which proceeds via the generalized Dyson mapping and a subsequent similarity transformation. Particular attention is paid to the implications of a consistent treatment of single-particle and collective degrees of freedom. The results are compared with expressions for the mapped single fermion operators previously obtained, respectively, within the Otsuka-Arima-Iachello framework and by using the prescriptions of nuclear field theory. We point out certain inconsistencies in existing constructions of interacting-boson-fermion model operators in general and the interacting-boson-fermion model quadrupole operator in particular.

Deriving an interacting boson model from the fermion SO(8) model

G.-K. Kim, C. Martin Vincent

To see how closely an interacting-boson-model-like model can be approached, we systematically develop a similarity transformation that unitarizes the simple correspondence version of the Dyson boson mapping of the Ginocchio SO(8) model. For a large region of Hamiltonian parameter space, a one-body plus two-body Hermitian boson Hamiltonian of the interacting-boson-model form is achieved. The similarity transformation consists of a dynamical part and a normalizing part. The dynamical transformation results in a one-body plus two-body Hermitian Hamiltonian and simple transition operators. The normalizing transformation commutes with the dynamically transformed Hamiltonian. This enables the transition rates to be calculated without introducing dual bases. However, the resulting boson model differs from the phenomenological interacting boson model in that transition rates are not calculable from the absolute squares of matrix elements. Dynamically transformed operators are given explicitly, and normalizing transformations for SO(6) and seniority limits are obtained in closed form.
