Generalized Center of Mass and Relative Motions in Classical Many-Body System: An Example of Solutions of Equations of Collective Submanifold

Abstract

A theory of collective submanifold, recently, developed by the present authors (M. Y. and A. K.) is applied to a classical many-body system, the Hamiltonian of which depends on the relative coordinates. The solution enables the separation of the total degrees of freedom into the collective and the intrinsic ones, which may be called the generalized center of mass and the relative motions. The results can be applied to the large amplitude collective motion and its couplings with the intrinsic degrees of freedom, which cannot be given in the HF plus RPA method.

A theory based on the time•dependent Hartree•Fock theory is proposed with the aim of describing large amplitude collective motion and its coupling with intrinsic degrees of freedom.With the use of time•dependent canonical transformation, the whole system is separated into two types of degrees of freedom.Under the condition of unique separation, two kinds of equations of collective submanifold are obtained.One js for the collective motion and of the same form as that previously given by the present authors.The other is for the intrinsic degrees of freedom and consists of a set of linear partial differential equations.It is reduced to the old one, the form of which is non-linear.

Equations of Collective Submanifold for Large Amplitude Collective Motion and Its Coupling with Intrinsic Degrees of Freedom. III

M. Yamamura, A. Kuriyama

From the viewpoint defferent from that of Part I, the time-dependent Harteree-Fock theory is formulated for describing large amplitude collective motion and its coupling with intrinsic degrees of freedom. The basic idea consists of the introduction of an additional degree of freedom for the collective motion and the use of Dirac’s canonical theory with constraints. The formalism is essentially equivalent to the ordinary time-dependent Hartree-Fock theory presented in Part I. The result given in Part I is completely reproduced.

Elementary Theory of Quantum-Mechanical Collective Motion of Particles, I

Sin‐itiro Tomonaga

An elementary theory of quantum-mechnaical collective motion of many-particle systems is developed. The fundamental idea is illustrated by taking an example of surface oscillation of an incompressible system of particles. The essential point of the theory is, roughly speaking, the neglect of 1/√N against unity, N being the number of particles of the system. The method is a natural generalization of separation of translational motion from the internal relative motion by the use of centre of mass coordinates. A description in terms of field concept is briefly discussed.

Coherent state theory of large amplitude collective motion

DAVID J. ROWE, R. Bassermann

A theory of large amplitude collective motion of a many-particle system is presented, which is relevant, for example, to nuclear fission. The theory is a combination of techniques used in many areas of physics and mathematics. The starting point is the application of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation to generate invariant subspaces of the Hamiltonian in the Hartree–Fock approximation. This is a generalization of the group-theoretical device of generating orbits of a group in the construction of reduced representations. It is shown how solutions of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation can be expressed as instantaneous stationary states of a constrained static Hamiltonian. Thus contact is made with the traditional cranking models and constrained Hartree–Fock theories of large amplitude collective motion. The collective motion is quantized using the Hill–Wheeler–Griffin method of generator coordinates in a basis of generalized coherent states. One is thereby able to exploit much of the theory of harmonic oscillator coherent states, which have been so successfully used in the quantum theory of the laser. The resulting Schrödinger equation for the collective dynamics is expressed both in the Bargmann representation and in the more familiar Schrödinger representation. It is shown that solution of the Schrödinger equation in the small amplitude harmonic approximation reproduces the well-known RPA result. A pilot calculation for 28Si shows that application in large amplitude is also feasible.

Center-of-mass motion in many-body theory of BEC

Iwo Białynicki‐Birula, Zofia Białynicka-Birula

The method of generating a family of new solutions starting from any wave function satisfying the nonlinear Schrödinger equation in a harmonic potential proposed recently [ J. J. Garc\'ıa-Ripoll, V. M. Pérez-Garc\'ıa, and V. Vekslerchik, Phys. Rev. E {\bf 64}, 056602 (2001)] is extended to many-body theory of mutually interacting particles. Our method is based on a generalization of the displacement operator known in quantum optics and results in the separation of the center of mass motion from the internal dynamics of many-body systems. The center of mass motion is analyzed for an anisotropic rotating trap and a region of instability for intermediate rotational velocities is predicted.
