We consider the set of all matrices of the form $p_{ij}=tr[W(E_{i}\otimes F_{j})]$ where $E_{i}$, $F_{j}$ are projections on a Hilbert space $H$, and $W$ is some state on $H\otimes H$. We derive the basic properties of this set, compare it…

Deformation, a key concept in our understanding of heavy nuclei, is based on a mean-field description that breaks the rotational invariance of the nuclear many-body Hamiltonian. We present a method to analyze nuclear deformations at finite…
