Inadequacy of four-particle tests of Dyson boson mapping

G.-K. Kim, C. Martin Vincent

The spurious state problem is generalized Dyson boson mapping is examined. For cases where the fermion space is restricted to at most four-quasiparticle excitations, we show that Dyson boson images of normal-ordered quasiparticle interactions have identically vanishing matrix elements in the unphysical boson space. This ``decoupling'' feature explains the finding of previous authors that, in systems with at most four quasiparticles, every spurious state appears at its unperturbed energy. However, we show that the decoupling property does not generally hold in problems where there are excitations of more than four quasiparticles. Claims about methods for the spurious state problem, even though verified in four-quasiparticle calculations, may therefore be of limited validity.

Spurious components in the ideal boson states

Javid A. Sheikh

The nature of the appearance of the spurious states in the ideal boson basis states is investigated. It is shown that the occurrence of the spurious states can be mainly attributed to the orthogonality of the boson basis states. It is further observed that the matrix element of the pairing interaction between the ideal boson basis is identical to the corresponding fermion matrix element.
