Abstract
A time-dependent variational approach with a mixed-mode coherent state is applied to su(1, 1)-algebraic models derived from nuclear su(2)-models, which are the single orbit shell model with pairing correlation and the Lipkin model. The equations of motion are derived in a canonical form similar to that in the time-dependent Hartree-Fock theory, and the solutions are derived by the use of conserved action variables together with an appropriate canonical transformation. It is shown that thermal effects appear in the form of the bose distribution function. Also, it is found that the energy concentrated in a pure state at initial time dissipates to the other states in a manner similar to the case of the damped-and-amplified harmonic oscillator model investigated in our previous work.
