Theory of Many-Fermion System on Unitary-Transformation Method

Abstract

A theory is formulated for solving a many-Fermion system in the framework of unitary-transformation method. A unitary transformation of a product form Πnexp S(n) with n-body operator S(n) is introduced. The operator exp S(n) is determined on the principle that the transformed Hamiltonian should not have interactions which induce n-particle-n-hole excitation. It is proved that the operator S(n) can be given in terms of eigenstates of n-body subsystem Hamiltonian and the true gound state can be given by Πn exp S(n)|φ0>, where |φ0> is the unperturbed free ground state.

Extension of the Single-Particle Description in Nuclear System. I

Kenji S. Suzuki

A general theory is proposed for the study of the single-particle description of a nondegenerate finite-particle system in a truncated shell-model space. In this theory, it is established that one can introduce a single-paritcle representation satisfying the requirements that single-particle operators to be defined should obey the Fermion-commutation relation, and that the corresponding free vacuum should also be the lowest eigenstate of the Hamiltonian. It is proved that such a representation based on the true ground state can be derived by the unitary transformation of the usual Fermion operators similarly to the quasi-particle transformation method. The equation is given for the determination of the unitary operator proper to new representation. This approach is proved to be understood as a natural extension of the usual Hartree-Fock theory. The theory is applied to a normal system, and a successive linearization procedure is proposed in order to solve the equation for the unitary operator. The advantages of the theory are discussed in connection with the nuclear shell-model problems.

Reformulation of Coupled-Cluster Theory for Many-Fermion System on Similarity-Transformation Theory

Kenji Suzuki

It is shown that the coupled-cluster theory can be interpreted as an application of the similarity-transformation theory for the quantum-mechanical eigenvalue problem. The transformed Hamiltonian H = e-THeT is introduced with the cluster operator T. The Hamiltonian H is expanded into different clusters according to the number of interacting particles. The n-body part of the cluster operator T is determined from the condition that the n-body part of H should be decoupled between two n-body states with configurations of n occupied and n unoccupied orbits. It is proved that the problem of solving the decoupling equation can be reduced to solving an eigenvalue equation for a subsystem Hamiltonian. it is also proved that there exist one- and two-body subsystem equations with certain one- and two-body average fields such that they determine the one- and two-body parts of the cluster operator and consequently lead to the exact ground-state energy.

One-Dimensional Many Boson System. III: Unitary Transformation and Exactly Dressed Bose Particle

Shosuke Sasaki, T. Kebukawa

A unitary operator, which transforms free states into the exact eigenstates for a one-dimensional many boson system with repulsive delta-function potential, is explicitly constructed. By the unitary operator, original bare creation and annihilation operators are transformed into new operators which are shown to create or annihilate the exactly dressed bosons with the interaction cloud. The total Hamiltonian, total number and total momentum in the system are expressed in the diagonalized form in terms of the dressed operators. It is shown that the exact ground state is the condensed state of all exactly dressed bosons with zero momentum.

Approximate diagonalization method for many-fermion Hamiltonians

Jonathan E. Moussa

The limits of direct unitary transformation of many-fermion Hamiltonians are explored. Practical application of such transformations requires that effective many-body interactions be discarded over the course of a calculation. The truncation of the Hamiltonian leads to finite errors and in some cases divergences. A new formalism is proposed to manage errors and avoid divergences. Removing all interactions from a many-fermion Hamiltonian reduces it to fermion number operators allowing for direct calculation of eigenvalues. If the same transformations are applied to the bare fermions, eigenfermions are produced whose Slater determinants form eigenstates. This enables a hierarchy of diagonalization methods of increasing accuracy as fewer interactions are discarded from the Hamiltonian.

Ground-State Correlations and Extension of the Single-Particle Picture in Light Nuclei

Kenji Suzuki

A new theory of treating the ground-state correlations and the correspond-ing renormalization effects is proposed. In the theory, two-particle-two-hole and four-particle-four-hole excitations are taken up as the important parts in the ground-state correlations. The correlated true ground state is given through multiplication of the unitary operator to the Hartree-Fock ground state. The unitary operator is determined from the condition of minimizing the energy of the correlated true ground state. New single-particle operators are defined through the unitary transformation of the Hartree-Fock single-particle operators in the second-quantization formalism. The transformed Hamiltonian represented by the new single-particle operators is established to display the renormalization effects in the single-particle energies and the two-body matrix elements, and further it is proved that in the Hamiltonian the two-body interactions inducing the ground-state correlati6ns are reduced to small and negligible values. With this Hamiltonian, we are led to a simple

Unitary-Model-Operator Approach to Nuclear Many-Body Problem. I: --The Ground-State and One-Body Energies of 16O--

Kenji Suzuki, R. Okamoto

A theory is formulated to derive an effective interaction in nuclei in the framework of the unitarymodel-operator approach.A unitary operator is introduced to describe two-body correlations, and it is determined from the condition that the effective interaction should be decoupled between the lowmomentum model space and the high-momentum space.The unitary-transformed Hamiltonian is represented in a cluster expansion form.The one-and two-body cluster terms are mainly discussed.The theory is applied to the calculation of the energies of the ground-and one-body states with the Reid soft core potential.A large gain of the energy has been obtained for the ground state in comparison with the result of the usual G-matrix theory.As for the one-body energies obtained, agreement with the experimental values is fairly good.Although the discrepancies with the experiments still remain at the 1O~ 15 % level, the present approach shows to have some desirable features compared with the nuclear many-body theories proposed so far. § 1. IntroductionA fundamental problem in nuclear physics is to clarify the properties of nuclei in terms of the interaction among their constituent particles.Although there have been many theories or approaches, we have not yet reached the goal of reproducing successfully the experimental data.The investigation of nuclear properties, in the usual nonrelativistic approach, proceeds in two steps: The first one is to determine the interaction among nucleons, and the second is to solve the many-body SchrOdinger equation.Concerning the nucleon-nucleon force, it seems that the phenomenological potential, such as the Reid potential, would be incomplete and one should wait until quark dynamics, probably quantum chromodynamics (QCD), solves finally the problem o~ nuclear force.It is of no doubt that in order to fit the experiments we need more accurate knowledge on the nuclear force including the threebody force.However, if we want to reach the goal, we need also a good many-body theory.Regardless of the accuracy of the nuclear force, we shall not be able to solve the problem unless we have a way of constructing an accurate solution for a many-body system.We believe that many-body theory should share the responsibility for the discrepancy between theory and experiment.It will be sure that nuclear many-body theory is still to be improved.Among many theories for nuclear many-body problem, the most widely applied method is, needless to say, the linked-diagram perturbation theory.This approach may also be referred to as the folded-diagram theory based on the G-matrix interaction especially due 'to Brandow 1l and Kuo et al. 2l An outstanding problem in this approach is the convergence of the perturbation expansion.Since Schucan and Weidenmliller 3 ) pointed out the divergence of the perturbation expansion due to the presence of intruder states, this difficulty has long been a serious problem.Present status of this problem is
