Generator coordinate method approach to the dynamic group representation

Abstract

The generator coordinate method approach to the dynamic group representation is discussed in general. In various cases, either in group space or in coset space, representations of the dynamic group can readily be obtained with the generator coordinate method. Boson representation is just one form of the generator coordinate method approach to the dynamic group representation. Various representations of the dynamic group are described by the generator coordinate method approach to the dynamic group representation in a unified way. Not only is the algebraic structure of generators preserved, but also conditions imposed by (a) the Pauli principle, (b) symmetry properties, (c) dynamic properties, and (d) other concrete properties of nuclear systems are well incorporated in these representations, so that the original fermion representation is faithfully realized. The generator coordinate method approach to the dynamic group representation is strictly a transformation theory from the fermion representation to continuous variable or boson representations of the dynamic group. Examples are given for showing the essence and the prospects of applications of the generator coordinate method approach to the dynamic group representation.

Continuous-variable representation of dynamic groups in quantum systems

Shun-Jin Wang, Cao Jian-min, A. Weiguny

The continuous-variable representation of the dynamic group is discussed in general terms, based on the differential of the group manifold. The unified formalism of various continuous-variable representations of the dynamic group is presented, and the essential common features of different continuous-variable representation theories are exploited from the general mathematical-physical point of view. The right-hand isomorphic representation and the left-hand anti-isomorphic representation of the dynamic group, and their relationship and physical implication are discussed in detail. Specialization of the general formalism to the function spaces of the group, based on both the Hilbert space of quantum-mechanical states and the von Neumann space of the quantum-statistical states (density matrices), leads to the results of both the generator coordinate approach to the dynamic-group representation and the generalized quantum characteristic function method. Techniques for calculating the continuous-variable representation of the group algebra are proposed and illustrated with the Lipkin SU(2), the Elliott SU(3), and its extension Sp(6) symmetries as examples. The results obtained for these dynamic groups are instructive for both physicists and mathematicians.

Semi-fermionic approach for quantum spin systems

Mikhail N. Kiselev

We present a general derivation of semi-fermionic representation for generators of SU(N) group as a bilinear combination of Fermi operators. The constraints are fulfilled by means of imaginary Lagrange multipliers. The important case of SU(2) group is discussed. We demonstrate how the idea of semi-fermionic representation might be extended to the groups possessing dynamic symmetries. As an example, SO(4) group is considered. We illustrate the application of semi-fermionic representations for various problems of strongly correlated physics.

Dynamical group of microscopic collective states. I. One-dimensional case

J. Deenen, C. Quesne

In the present series of papers it is intended to determine the nature and study various realizations of the dynamical group of microscopic collective states for an A-nucleon system, defined as those A-particle states invariant under the orthogonal group O(n) associated with the n = A−1 Jacobi vectors. The present paper discusses the case of a hypothetical one-dimensional space. Simple invariance considerations show that the dynamical group of collective states is then the group 𝒮𝓅c(2,R), which is the restriction to the collective subspace of the group 𝒮𝓅(2,R) of linear canonical transformations in n dimensions conserving the O(n) symmetry. In addition to the well-known realization of the dynamical group in the Schrödinger representation based upon the Dzublik–Zickendraht transformation, two new realizations are proposed. The first acts in a Barut Hilbert space, which is the subspace of a Bargmann Hilbert space of analytic functions left invariant by O(n). A unitary mapping is established between the ordinary Hilbert space of collective states and the Barut Hilbert space and coherent collective states are defined in the latter. The second is carried out in terms of one boson creation and one boson annihilation operator through a generalized Holstein–Primakoff representation. The generator of a U(1) group, which is the one-dimensional analog of the U(6) group of the interacting boson model (IBM), can then be expressed in terms of the generators of 𝒮𝓅c(2,R). Finally the generalization of the preceding analysis to a d-dimensional space is outlined in the cases where d = 2 or 3. The dynamical group of collective states becomes 𝒮𝓅c(2d,R).

Dynamical group of microscopic collective states. II. Boson representations in d dimensions

J. Deenen, C. Quesne

The present series of papers deals with various realizations of the dynamical group 𝒮𝓅c(2d,R) of microscopic collective states for an A nucleon system in d dimensions, defined as those A particle states invariant under the orthogonal group O(n) associated with the n=A−1 Jacobi vectors. In the present paper, we derive two boson representations of 𝒮𝓅c(2d,R), namely the Dyson representation and the Holstein–Primakoff (HP) one. Our starting point is a representation of microscopic collective states, as introduced in the first paper of the present series, in a Barut Hilbert space ℱc of analytic functions in ν =(1/2)d(d+1) complex variables. Basis functions in ℱc, classified according to the chain 𝒮𝓅c(2d,R)⊇𝒰c(d), can be put into one-to-one correspondence with basis functions, classified according to the chain 𝔘(ν)⊇𝔘(d), in a Bargmann Hilbert space ℬ of analytic functions in ν complex variables representing ν-dimensional boson states. By equating the complex variables of ℱc and their conjugate momenta with those of ℬ, we get the non-Hermitian Dyson representation of 𝒮𝓅c(d,R). We then go from the latter to the Hermitian HP representation by means of a canonical transformation that restores the Hermiticity properties of the variables and conjugate momenta. The inverse of the HP representation gives the unitary representation in quantum mechanics of the classical canonical transformation relating the oscillator Hamiltonians of the microscopic collective model and the boson macroscopic one. From the ν boson creation and annihilation operators, it is possible to build the generators of a 𝔘(ν) group, which in the physical three-dimensional case reduces to 𝔘(6). The latter is finally compared with the U(6) group appearing in the interacting boson model.

Coherent states: Theory and some applications

Wei-Min Zhang, D.H. Feng, Robert Gilmore

In this review, a general algorithm for constructing coherent states of dynamical groups for a given quantum physical system is presented. The result is that, for a given dynamical group, the coherent states are isomorphic to a coset space of group geometrical space. Thus the topological and algebraic structure of the coherent states as well as the associated dynamical system can be extensively discussed. In addition, a quantum-mechanical phase-space representation is constructed via the coherent-state theory. Several useful methods for employing the coherent states to study the physical phenomena of quantum-dynamic systems, such as the path integral, variational principle, classical limit, and thermodynamic limit of quantum mechanics, are described.

A New Fermion Many-Body Theory Based on the SO(2N+1) Lie Algebra of the Fermion Operators

Hideo Fukutome, M. Yamamura, Seiya Nishiyama

A new many-body theory for fermions is proposed wihich is based on the SO(2N+1) Lie algebra of the fermion operators consisted of the annihilation-creation operators and the pair operators. A New cannonical transformation, which is the extension of the Bogoliubov transformation to the SO(2N+1) group, is introduced. A new bose representation for the fermion Lie operators is obtained by mapping the fermion Lie operators into the regular representation of the SO(2N+1) group. The annihilation-creation operators and the pair operators of fermions are represented by the closed first order differential operators on the SO(2N+1) group. An exact representation of fermion wavefunctions in a form similar to the wavefunction of the generator coordinate method is obtained making use of the SO(2N+1) canonical transformation. The physical fermion space is shown to be the irreducible spinor representation of the SO(2N+1) group. The dynamics of fermions in the bose representation space is shown to represent rotations of a 2N+1 dimensional rotator.
