On the relation between the interacting boson model of Arima and Iachello and the collective model of Bohr and Mottelson. II

The generator coordinate method is used to relate the interacting boson model of Arima and lachello and the collective model of Bohr and Mottelson through an isometric transformation. It associates complex parameters to the original boson operators whereas the ultimate collective variables are real. The absolute squares of the collective wave functions can be given a direct probability interpretation. The lowest order Bohr-Mottelson hamiltonian is obtained in the harmonic approximation to the interacting boson model; unharmonic coupling terms render the collective potential to be velocity dependent. The mapping of operators of the interacting boson model onto those of the Bohr-Mottelson model turns out to be of Holstein-Primakoff type.

A geometrical representation of the interacting boson model of nuclei

The representation of the interacting boson model hamiltonian as a second-order differential operator in geometrical variables is studied in detail. It is shown that, with appropriate boundary conditions and biorthogonal weight functions, it reproduces exactly both the spectrum and matrix elements of operators of the algebraic boson model. It can be written in self-adjoint form and expanded in a symmetrized moment expansion, allowing the identification of collective mass parameters and energy surfaces, but differs in detail from the conventional geometrical collective model.     

On the boson mapping of fermion collective pairs

We study the problem of the mapping of fermion collective pairs onto particle-particle bosons and of different fermion operators (hamiltonian, one- and two-particle transfer operators) onto corresponding boson ones and we test the consequences of the truncation to lowest orders of these boson operators. We find that, although the lowest-order terms in the expansion of the operators in boson space lead to matrix elements between boson states which display the qualitative behaviour of the corresponding ones between fermion states, higher-order terms are required to get a quantitative agreement when a large number of particles are involved, as a direct consequence of the increased role of the Pauli principle.     

Construction of microscopic boson states and their relevance for IBM-2

We investigate four methods for the construction of collective shell model states which may be mapped onto boson states of the IBM-2. These methods use, as building blocks for the wave functions, particle-particle pair operators, particle-hole operators, pair operators with seniority projection and energy-weighted quadrupole operators. It is demonstrated that one obtains stronger collectivity with the energy-weighted quadrupole operator than with the other methods.On the basis of a comparison of calculated and empirical IBM-2 interaction parameters we can rule out the seniority projection method. This implies that particle-particle and particle-hole approaches difler.The ratios between quadrupole matrix elements of the microscopic boson states appear to be similar to the IBM predictions. For states corresponding to those with two d-bosons coupled to J = 0 there is a smaller quadrupole matrix element when subshells with small angular momenta dominate near the Fermi level. Especially for this type of states the collective quadrupole space will be larger than represented in the IBM, however, which may compensate the smaller proton-neutron quadrupole coupling.The calculated bare quadrupole interaction between like bosons is found to be weak.     

Boson expansions and quantization of time-dependent self-consistent fields (I). Particle-hole excitations

Two concrete methods are presented for quantizing the time-dependent Hartree equations in terms of boson operators. The first is the well-known infinite boson expansion analogous to the Holstein-Primakoff representation of angular momentum operators. The second, a new development, consists of finite boson quadratic forms, and is analogous to the Schwinger representation of angular momenta. In each case, a physical boson subspace can easily be constructed within which the full fermion dynamics is exactly duplicated. It therefore follows that quantization of the time-dependent Hartree equations, including all degrees of freedom, retrieves the exact many-body problem. The discussion in this paper is limited to particle-hole excitations of an N-particle system. A generalization to one-nucleon transfer processes on the N-particle system is also given in terms of ideal odd nucleons, but this brings in infinite expansions.     

Boson description of nuclear collective motion. I

As the first part of the series on the application of the boson expansion method to the nuclear collective motion, the method of Kishimoto and Tamura is illustrated by taking a simple case of boson expansion up to second order. By taking into account the effect of particle channel by the projection technique, the lowest mode is shown to have the same property as the RPA phonon.     

Dual squeezed states in an atom-photon cluster and their manifestations

The general kinetic equation for an isolated two-level atom and a high-Q cavity mode in a heat bath exhibiting quantum correlations (entangled bath) is applied to the analysis of the squeezed states of the collective system. Two types of collective operators are introduced for the analysis: one is based on bosonic commutation relations, and the other, on the commutation relations of the algebra obtained by a polynomial deformation of the angular momentum algebra. On the basis of these relations, formulas for observables are constructed that identify squeezed states in the system. It is shown that, under certain conditions, the collective system exhibits dual squeezing within the relations for boson operators, as well as for the operators constructed from the angular momentum algebra. Such squeezing is demonstrated under a projective measurement of an atom and for an entanglement swapping protocol. In the latter case, when measuring two initially independent atomic systems, depending on the type of measurement, two cavity modes collapse into a nonseparable state, which is described either by a nonseparability relation based on boson operators or by a relation based on the operators of the algebra of the quasimomentum of the collective system consisting of these two modes.     

Boson description of nuclear collective motion II. Application to octupole vibration

As the first part of the series on the application of the boson expansion method to the nuclear collective motion, the method of Kishimoto and Tamura is illustrated by taking a simple case of boson expansion up to second order. By taking into account the effect of particle channel by the projection technique, the lowest mode is shown to have the same property as the RPA phonon.     

Large-mass expansions or one-loop effective actions and fermion currents

The large-mass expansion of the functional determinants for second-order elliptic operators and general Dirac operators is calculated for four-dimensional flat euclidean space using zeta function regularisation and heat kernel methods. The results are applicable to one-loop boson and fermion effective actions. In addition the expansions of covariantly regularised fermion currents are derived. It is also possible for the corresponding Pauli-Villars regularised forms to be then simply obtained and the modified currents then reproduce the usual Bardeen anomaly. Although covariant methods are used it is shown how to derive the expansion for the phase of the fermion determinant, which is non-covariant and produces the anomaly, in terms of a representation as a five-dimensional integral which is related to the spectral asymmetry for a suitable spinor hamiltonian. This relation is essentially exact and is demonstrated by considering the variation of the phase with respect to the Dirac operator.     

On the correspondence between fermion and boson states and operators

Mapping of shell-model (fermion) Hamiltonians onto boson Hamiltonians which underly the interaction boson model ^1–5) is investigated. A simple correspondence is defined and a sufficient condition given for shell-model Hamiltonians to simply correspond to finite hermitian boson Hamiltonians. A special case is discussed where diagonalization of a shell-model Hamiltonian for valence protons and neutrons can be exactly carried out in an equivalent (but different) boson space. If, however, the proton Hamiltonian and neutron Hamiltonian are diagonal in the seniority scheme, mapping of fermion states onto orthogonal boson states cannot be a simple correspondence. In that case the boson quadrupole operators equivalent to fermion guadrupole operators cannot be single-boson operators but must be more complicated, ones.

The geometric content of the interacting boson model for molecular spectra: A testground for the nuclear IBM

The recently proposed algebraic model for collective spectra of diatomic molecules is analysed in terms of conventional geometrical degrees of freedom. We present a mapping of the algebraic hamiltonian onto an exactly solvable geometrical hamiltonian with the Morse potential. This mapping explains the success of the algebraic model in reproducing the low-lying part of molecular spectra. At the same time the mapping shows that the expression for the dipole transition operators in terms of boson operators differs from the simplest IBM expression and in general must include many-body boson terms. The study also provides an insight into the problem of possible interpretations of the bosons in the nuclear IBM.     

Plasma oscillations in a one-dimensional many-fermion system

Following the Shevchik technique, a model Hamiltonian of collective oscillations (plasmons) in a one-dimensional system of complete degenerate fermions is obtained in terms of the Tomonaga boson operators. This Hamiltonian is diagonalized by means of the Mattis and Lieb canonical transformation and the plasma frequency is derived. The equation-of-motion method is applied in the RPA in order to include the coupling between the collective and individual degrees of freedom. The generalization to finite temperatures is performed and connection with the Tomonaga model is discussed.     

A unification of boson expansion theories: (I). Functional representations of fermion states

The method for obtaining boson expansion by representing the fermion states as holomorphic functions of many complex variables is presented. Such functional representation is explicitly constructed for each space which is the carrier space of an irreducible representation of a semisimple compact Lie group. This is achieved by proving the unity resolution in terms of holomorphically parametrized Perelomov's generalized coherent states. The functional images of fermion states are polynomials of complex variables, while those of fermion operators are differential operators of finite order with polynomial coefficients.
