The many-nucleon theory of nuclear collective structure and its macroscopic limits: an algebraic perspective

Abstract: The nuclear collective models introduced by Bohr, Mottelson and Rainwater, together with the Mayer-Jensen shell model, have provided the central framework for the development of nuclear physics. This paper reviews the microscopic evolution of the collective models and their underlying foundations. In particular, it is shown that the Bohr-Mottelson models have expressions as macroscopic limits of microscopic models that have precisely-defined expressions in many-nucleon quantum mechanics. Understanding collecti… Show more

“…As argued in sections 2.3.3 and 2.3.6, bases built on particlehole type expansions are not ideally suited to the description of collective correlations. The SA-NCSM [139] instead uses irreducible representations of SU (3) or Sp (3, ), the dynamical symmetry groups of collective models [263], to achieve a much more efficient description of collective behavior in nuclei. This is illustrated for the case of 20 Ne in Figure 14.…”

“…The dynamical symmetry relationship between the bands is suggestive of an emerging physical structure. In the contraction limit, obtained for large values of the quantum numbers, the microscopic symplectic picture gives way to a collective interpretation of the dynamics in terms of effective coupled rotational and vibrational (giant resonance) degrees of freedom [40,41,81,82].…”

“…Partially-coherent state representations, related to VCS representations, were also introduced for this purpose by Deenen and Quesne [23]. A recent review of the applications of VCS theory in nuclear physics can be found in [24]. Classes of vector coherent states, for which there is a resolution of the identity, have been considered more recently by Ali and others [25][26][27] but not, as far as we are aware, for the construction of Lie group or Lie algebra representations.…”
