Abstract

Properties and implications of the SO(2N+1) regular representation of a fermion system, which is a representation on the SO(2N+1) group proposed recently by us, are studied. By using the independent variables of the SO(2N+1) group, a representation of fermion annihilation-creation and pair operators is obtained which is an extension of the Dyson representation to cover both paired and unpaired modes. The structures of the SO(2N+1) spinor space and the SO(2N+1) wave function are determined. An integral and a differential Schrödinger equation on the SO(2N+1) spinor space are derived which are applicable to both even and odd fermion systems. The structures of the symmetry projected SO(2N+1) wave function and Schrödinger operator are determined. It is shown that odd fermion systems can be treated with an analogous way as even fermion systems by using a special SO(2N+1) canonical transformation which is very similar to the Bogoliubov transformation but corresponds to an improper rotation in the O(2N) group.

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.

The Group Theoretical Structure of Fermion Many-Body Systems Arising from the Canonical Anticommutation Relation. I: Lie Algebras of Fermion Operators and Exact Generator Coordinate Representations of State Vectors

Hideo Fukutome

We study in this series the group theoretical structure of Fermion many-body systems arising from the canonical anticommutation relation of the annihilation-creation operators. Owing to the canonical anticommutation relation, a Fermion system with N single particle states has at least six Lie algebras of Fermion operators, a U(N), an SO(2N), an SO(2N+1), an SO(2N+2) and two U(N+1) Lie algebras. There are also two Clifford algebras of 2N and 2N+1 dimensions. The Fermion space is shown to belong to the spinor representations of the SO(2N), SO(2N+1) and SO(2N+2) groups. The canonical transformations generated by the U(N), SO(2N) and SO(2N+1) Lie algebras are characterized as the transformations to induce the linear U(N), SO(2N) and SO(2N+1) transformations for the Clifford algebras. The independent (quasi-) particle type wave functions of three kinds including the Hartree-Fock and Hartree-Bogoliubov wave functions are constructed by means of the canonical transformations and their relationship is studied. We derive three exact generator coordinate representations for state vectors in which the generator coordinates are the U(N), SO(2N) or SO(2N+1) group and the generating functions are the independent (quasi-) particle type wave functions. We characterize the structures of state vectors in the generator coordinate representations and study the relationship of the three representations.

A New Tamm-Dancoff Method Based on the SO (2N+1) Regular Representation of Fermion Many-Body Systems

Hideo Fukutome

A new Tamm-Dancoff method is developed on the basis of the SO(2N + 1) regular representation formalism of Fermion many-body systems. The Schrodinger equation in the SO(2N + 1) generator coordinate representation is decomposed into symmetry subspaces by means of a Peierls-Yoccoz, projection procedure. The decomposed Schrödinger equation is transformed to a quasi-particle frame by a transformation of the generator coordinate and expanded by the symmetry projected Tamm-Dancoff bases. The Tamm-Danco[f equation and wave function thus obtained satisfy all symmetry requirements at every order of the expansion. The first order Tamm-Dancoff wave function is neither an independent particle nor quasi-particle approximation but represents Bose condensed Fermion pairs (and an unpaired particle) performing a coherent motion. The higher order terms represent fluctuations of Fermion pairs (and the unpaired particle) from the Bose condensate.

Time Dependent Hartree–Bogoliubov Equation on the Coset Space SO(2N + 2)/U(N + 1) and Quasi Anti-Commutation Relation Approximation

Seiya Nishiyama

An induced representation of an SO(2N + 1) group has been obtained from a group extension of the SO(2N) Bogoliubov transformation for fermions to a new canonical transformation group. Embedding the SO(2N + 1) group into an SO(2N + 2) group and using the SO(2N + 2)/U(N + 1) coset variables, we develop an extended time dependent Hartree–Bogoliubov (TDHB) theory in which paired and unpaired modes are treated in an equal manner. The extended TDHB theory applicable to both even and odd fermion systems is a time dependent self-consistent field (TDSCF) theory with the same level of the mean field approximation as the usual TDHB theory for even fermion systems. We start from the Hamiltonian of the fermion system which includes, however, the Lagrange multiplier terms to select the physical spinor subspace. The extended TDHB equation is derived from the classical Euler–Lagrange equation of motion for the SO(2N + 2)/U(N + 1) coset variables in the TDSCF. The final form of the extended TDHB equation can be expressed through the variables as the representatives of the paired mode and the unpaired mode. We introduce the quasi anti-commutation relation approximation for the fermion. The parameters included in the Lagrangian multiplier terms are determined under the quasi anti-commutation relation approximation.

Time Dependent SO(2N+1) Theory for Unified Description of Bose and Fermi Type Collective Excitations

H. Fukutome, Seiya Nishiyama

A time dependent theory is developed for the SO(2N+1) wave function which yields both paired and unpaired modes of Fermion. The time dependent SO(2N+1) equation is derived and shown to have two kinds of solution, the Hartree-Bogoliubov solution which describes even Fermion systems and the improper Hartree-Bogoliubov solution which describes odd Fermion systems. The time dependent improper Hargree-Bogoliubov equation leads to a new random phase approximation which gives a self-consistent unified description of Bose and Fermi type collective excitations in an odd Fermion system.

A NEW DESCRIPTION OF MOTION OF THE FERMIONIC SO(2N+2) TOP IN THE CLASSICAL LIMIT UNDER THE QUASI-ANTICOMMUTATION RELATION APPROXIMATION

SEIYA NISHIYAMA, JOÃO DA PROVIDÊNCIA, CONSTANÇA PROVIDÊNCIA

-1 The boson images of fermion SO(2N+1) Lie operators have been given together with those of SO(2N+2) ones. The SO(2N+1) Lie operators are generators of rotation in the (2N+1)-dimensional Euclidean space (N: number of single-particle states of the fermions). The images of fermion annihilation–creation operators must satisfy the canonical anticommutation relations, when they operate on a spinor subspace. In the regular representation space we use a boson Hamiltonian with Lagrange multipliers to select out the spinor subspace. Based on these facts, a new description of a fermionic SO(2N+2) top is proposed. From the Heisenberg equations of motions for the boson operators, we get the SO(2N+1) self-consistent field (SCF) Hartree–Bogoliubov (HB) equation for the classical stationary motion of the fermion top. Decomposing an SO(2N+1) matrix into matrices describing paired and unpaired modes of fermions, we obtain a new form of the SO(2N+1) SCF equation with respect to the paired-mode amplitudes. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the new description based on the bosonization theory, the extended HB eigenvalue equation is applied to a superconducting toy-model which consists of a particle–hole plus BCS-type interaction. It is solved to reach an interesting and exciting solution which is not found in the traditional HB eigenvalue equation due to the unpaired-made effects. To complete the new description, the Lagrange multipliers must be determined in the classical limit. For this aim a quasi-anticommutation relation approximation is proposed. Only if a certain relation between an SO(2N+1) parameter z and the N is satisfied, unknown parameters K and l in the Lagrange multipliers can be determined without any inconsistency.
