The sum rule for spectroscopic factors in the seniority scheme of identical particles
Masao Nomura
Abstract
Spectroscopic factors partitioning an identical-particle state into a couple of substates with definite seniorities are summed into a simple form. This sum rule is an extension of the reduction relation for the fixed-seniority average of a many-body operator. The seniority projection operator is utilized throughout the present formulation
