Overlap between Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov(HFB) vacua is very important in the beyond mean-field calculations. However, in the HFB transformation, the $U,V$ matrices are sometimes singular due to the exact emptiness ($v_i=0$) or full…

Recently, the zero-pairing limit of Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) mean-field theory was studied in detail in arXiv:2006.02871. It was shown that such a limit is always well-defined for any particle number A, but the resulting many-body…

While over the last century or more considerable effort has been put into the problem of finding approximate solutions for wave equations in general, and quantum mechanical problems in particular, it appears that as yet relatively little…
