Symmetries are manifested in nature through degeneracies in the spectra of physical systems. In the case of heavy deformed nuclei, when described in the framework of the Interacting Boson Model, within which correlated proton (neutron)…

We report on the computational characteristics of ab initio nuclear structure calculations in a symmetry-adapted no-core shell model (SA-NCSM) framework. We examine the computational complexity of the current implementation of the SA-NCSM…

The low-energy spectra and B(E2) electromagnetic transition strengths of 159Eu, 159Tb and 159Dy are described using the pseudo SU(3) model. Normal parity bands are built as linear combinations of SU(3) states, which are the direct product…

Triaxial shapes in even-even nuclei have been considered since the early days of the nuclear collective model. Although many theoretical approaches have been used over the years for their description, no effort appears to have been made for…

The new ansatz which is the SO(3) group soliton was defined for the SU(3) Skyrme model. The model is considered in noncanonical bases $SU(3)\supset SO(3)$ for the state vectors. A complete canonical quantization of the model have been…
