Abstract

Quantum-deformation of the vibrational symmetry SU(3) supset SU(2) supset SO(2) of the two-dimensional SU(3) interacting boson model is studied from the point of view of the breaking of the dynamical symmetry. It is shown that, in agreement with the earlier work of Gupta et al. (1992) for the one-dimensional problem, the real and complex (more so the complex) q-deformations take this dynamical symmetry very close to the other (rotational) dynamical symmetry SU(3) supset SO(3) supset SO(2) of the two-dimensional SU(3) group. Also, the intermediate results of mixing these two symmetries are obtained, since q-deformations vary continuously. The purely imaginary q-deformation in SU q (3) supset SU q (2) supset SO q (2) restores the SU(3) symmetry for a parameter value larger than 1. Applications to real nuclei are also made.

An exactly soluble nuclear model with SUq(3) supset SUq(2) supset SOq(2) symmetry

Dennis Bonatsos A, Amand Faessler, P. P. Raychev +2 more

The q-deformed version of a two-dimensional toy interacting boson model (IBM) with the symmetry SU q (3) supset SU q (2) supset SO q (2) is constructed. Energy spectra and transition matrix elements are calculated, the latter being found to be much more sensitive to q-deformation than the former. Arguments in favour of the q-generalization of the full IBM are given.

Dynamic versus kinematic symmetry breaking in a two-dimensional model of collective motion

J. Cseh

Investigates the question of whether or not the vibrational spectrum of a two-dimensional interacting boson model can be transformed into the rotational one via quantum deformation of the group structure. It turns out that although the spectrum of the q-deformed model shows one or another of the rotational-like features at different values of the deformation parameter, nevertheless, all the requirements of the rotational behavior cannot be obtained simultaneously. This result indicates that the quantum algebraic treatment cannot give an analytical solution to the eigenvalue problem of the interacting boson models of nuclear and molecular physics in the whole range of the physically relevant breaking of dynamical symmetries.

QUANTUM GROUP SUq(2) FOR COMPLEX q-DEFORMATION

Ramandeep S. Johal, Raj K. Gupta

q-deformed harmonic oscillator is established for any arbitrary complex q-deformation parameter (with real and imaginary q as its special cases) and the formalism so developed is used to construct the quantum group SUq(2). The eigenvalues of the Casimir of SUq(2) are now real, even for complex q-deformation (q=ea+ib). This happens for (a,b)≪1. Thus, the use of real part of energies in the earlier works of Gupta and collaborators7–14 is mathematically rigorous, since only small values of (a, b) are involved in all the nuclear and molecular physics problems studied7–14,18–20 so far.

Dynamical versus kinematical symmetry breaking revisited

J. Cseh, G. Timár

We reinvestigate the question of whether or not the dynamical symmetries of the two-dimensional interacting boson model can be transformed into each other by the quantum deformation of the algebraic structure. The deformation of both the vibrational and the rotational spectra is considered, and the breaking of the classical symmetry is measured quantitatively, while a systematic search for the best fit is performed. In no case can the quantum-deformed spectrum reach the other classical limit; only a modest improvement is observed with the phase deformation of the rotational spectrum.

Uq(2)⊃Uq(1) DESCRIPTION OF VIBRATIONAL SPECTRA OF DIATOMIC MOLECULES

RAJ K. GUPTA, Ramandeep S. Johal, Ian L. Cooper

q-deformation of the U(1) dynamical symmetry of U(2) group is introduced for the first time for vibrations of diatomic molecules. The question of pure real and pure imaginary value of q-deformation parameter, often raised in the literature, is found to be related to the particular choice of the constants of the model. The complex q-deformation parameter is allowed, with pure real and pure imaginary values as its special cases. Compared to the other dynamical symmetry Oq(2) of Uq(2), the result of Uq(1) of Uq(2) remains better even when the vibron number in Oq(2) is varied. The role of the vibron number in the two dynamical symmetries of U(2) is shown to be different. In Uq(1) symmetry, the vibron number is fixed by the number of observed states of the system since Uq(1) represents the q-deformation of a truncated anharmonic oscillator. A possible physical meaning to the q-deformation parameter is suggested in terms of higher order anharmonicities of the truncated anharmonic oscillator.

Q -Deformed Bosons at Quasi-classical Limit of SO(3)

Zhang Li, Gao Yibo, Yanmin Li

When a boson interacts with another to form a composite system with SO(3) dynamic symmetry, it is shown that there exists the q-deformed bosonic excitation satisfying the q-deformed Heisenberg commutation relation in the quasi-classical limit that the angular momentum j for SO(3) is large, but not infinite. In second quantization this quasi-excitation is associated with the boson realization of SO(3) Lie algebra. Physically, the phenomena of q-deformed excitation can happen in many models of quantum dynamics, such as super emission from a system of many identical two-level atoms, the spin wave in Heisenberg chain, the high spin precession and the coherent output of Bose–Einstein atoms in a trap. Especially, in these models, the deformation parameter q is well defined intrinsically by a conservative quantity, such as the total atomic number and the angular momentum.
