Most nuclear structure calculations, even for full configuration interaction approaches, are performed within truncated model spaces. These require consistent transformations of the Hamiltonian and operators to account for the missing…
A geometric interpretation is given of matrix elements of a short-range interaction between states that are written in terms of aligned neutron-proton pairs.
The Hamiltonian dynamics of chains of nonlinearly coupled particles is numerically investigated in two and three dimensions. Simple, off-lattice homopolymer models are used to represent the interparticle potentials. Time averages of…
We discuss several pairing-related phenomena in nuclear systems, ranging from superfluidity in neutron stars to the gradual breaking of pairs in finite nuclei. We describe recent experimental evidence that points to a relation between…
In pursuing the essential elements of nuclear binding, we compute ground-state properties of atomic nuclei with up to $A=20$ nucleons, using as input a leading order pionless effective field theory Hamiltonian. A variational Monte Carlo…
We show and interpret three examples of nontrivial results obtained in numerical simulations of many-body systems: exponential convergence of low-lying energy eigenvalues in the process of progressive truncation of huge shell-model…
We revisit the derivation of multipole contributions to the atom-wall interaction previously presented in [G. Lach et al., Phys. Rev. A 81, 052507 (2010)]. A careful reconsideration of the angular-momentum decomposition of the second-,…
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…
The energy-momentum tensor form factors contain a wealth of information about the nucleon. It is insightful to visualize this information in terms of 3D or 2D densities related by Fourier transformations to the form factors. The densities…
The Hamiltonian formalism offers a natural framework for discussing the notion of Poisson Lie T-duality. This is because the duality is inherent in the Poisson structures alone and exists regardless of the choice of Hamiltonian. Thus one…
In this work the connection established in [7, 8] between a model of two linked polymers rings with fixed Gaussian linking number forming a 4-plat and the statistical mechanics of non-relativistic anyon particles is explored. The excluded…
We generalize the linear sigma model in order to develop a chiral-invariant model of nuclear structure. The model is natural, and contains not only the usual sigma meson which is the chiral partner of the pion but also a new chiral-singlet…
The pseudo-SU(3) model has been extensively used to study normal parity bands in even-even and odd-mass heavy deformed nuclei. The use of a realistic Hamiltonian that mixes many SU(3) irreps has allowed for a successful description of…
We develop a formalism for calculating the distribution of the axial quadrupole operator in the laboratory frame within the rotationally invariant framework of the configuration-interaction shell model. The calculation is carried out using…
We investigate various types of symmetries and their mutual relationships in Hamiltonian systems defined on manifolds with different geometric structures: symplectic, cosymplectic, contact and cocontact. In each case we pay special…
The coupling of non-Hermitian PT-symmetric Hamiltonians to standard Hermitian Hamiltonians, each of which individually has a real energy spectrum, is explored by means of a number of soluble models. It is found that in all cases the energy…
Our main concern in this work is to show how higher shell admixtures affect the spectrum of a Q.Q interaction. We first review how, in the valence space, the familiar SU(3) result for the energy spectrum can be obtained using a coordinate…
The shell-model Monte Carlo (SMMC) technique transforms the traditional nuclear shell-model problem into a path-integral over auxiliary fields. We describe below the method and its applications to four physics issues: calculations of sdpf-…

The main progress in the field of nucleon-nucleon (NN) potentials, which we have seen in recent years, is the construction of some very quantitative (high-quality/high-precision) NN potentials. These potentials will serve as excellent input…
