Abstract

Various kinds of kinematical constraints of pair operators play important roles in an algebraic approach to the theory of nuclear collective motion. The algebraic foundation of these constraints is given with the use of algebraic recursion formulas.

On the New Kinematical Constraints of the Pair Operators in the Algebraic Approach to the Theory of Collective Motion

M. Yamamura

New kinematical constraints of the pair operators in the algebraic approach to the theory of collective motion are proposed. These relations are the natural extension, to the operator forms, of the well-known constraints of the generalized density matrix in the Hartree-Bogoliubov theory. On the basis of the new constraints, a microscopic theory of rotational motion given by Belyaev and Zelevinsky is reconstructed.

Inclusion of Pauli principle constraints in equations-of-motion methods for the nuclear many-body problem

Pranab K. Chattopadhyay, Abraham Klein

The effort to isolate and study the dominant collective modes of a nuclear many-body system by generalized equations-of-motion methods (algebraic methods) confronts the inherent difficulty that such modes are correlated with each other and with noncollective modes by kinematic constraints traceable to the Pauli principle. This problem has previously been solved for simplified nuclear models. A solution is proposed for the general shell model problem of a number of interacting levels.

Algebraic Approach to the Theory of Collective Motion: Spherical to Deformed Transition in the Single- j Shell

Mathilde Vallières, Abraham Klein, R. M. Dreizler

The program of the algebraic approach to nuclear collective motion is summarized. In essence, it should permit an accurate solution of the many-body problem within a subspace of the many-particle space if the conditions defining collective motion are present. The formulation, containing both dynamical and kinematical aspects, leads to coupled nonlinear algebraic equations for the matrix elements between collective states of fermion pair operators. An explicit set of equations is given for the problem of $N$ (even) particles confined to a single-$j$ shell and described by the conventional pairing plus quadrupole-quadrupole interaction Hamiltonian. This formulation is designed to be nearly exact in the pairing-dominant (seniority) limit and to be accurate enough (based on plausibility arguments) to describe the transition from spherical to deformed shape. That this is so is verified for configurations, the largest being ${j}^{N}={(\frac{21}{2})}^{6}$, for which exact solutions are available. The present method can be viewed as an angular momentum conserving alternative to the description of the transition based on the Hartree-Bogoliubov-BCS method. Qualitative and detailed comparisons of the two methods are carried out. In particular, it is shown from approximate analytic results that the two theories predict the transition to occur for almost identical values of the parameters. Over-all agreement with exact results is much better for the algebraic method, however, confirming its status as an approximate method of variation after projection.

Finite particle-number description of symmetric nuclear matter with spin excitations of high-momentum pairs induced by the tensor force

Niu Wan, Takayuki Myo, Hiroki Takemoto +6 more

We study symmetric nuclear matter using bare nucleon-nucleon ($NN$) interactions with the finite particle-number approach within finite cubic boxes. Due to the $NN$ correlations originating from the bare $NN$ interaction, two nucleons can be excited to the high-momentum region, leading to the increase of the kinetic energy in nuclear matter. We further consider the spin excitations in the nucleon pairs, where the spins of the two nucleons are changed, and this excitation is important for the tensor correlation. The unitary correlation operator method (UCOM) is used to treat the short-range correlation. The tail correction coming from the neighboring boxes is also included. We demonstrate the contributions of various excitations of nucleon pairs as well as the tail correction to the total energy at normal density. We also discuss the effects of UCOM and correlated nucleon pairs on the density dependence of the total energy. We calculate the equations of state of symmetric nuclear matter using two kinds of the Argonne potentials and the results agree with those from other many-body theories. The density dependences of the Hamiltonian components are also shown.
