There are efficient many-body methods, such as the (symmetry-restored) generator coordinate method in nuclear physics, that formulate the A-body Schrodinger equation within a set of nonorthogonal many-body states. Solving the corresponding secular equation requires the evaluation of the norm matrix and thus the capacity to compute its entries consistently and without any phase ambiguity. This is not always a trivial task, e.g. it remained a long-standing problem for methods based on general Bogoliubov product states. While a solution to this problem was found recently in Ref. [L. M. Robledo, Phys. Rev. C79, 021302 (2009)], the present work introduces an alternative method that can be generically applied to other classes of states of interest in many-body physics. The method is presently exemplified in the case of Bogoliubov states and numerically illustrated on the basis of a toy model.

A new convenient method to diagonalize the non-relativistic many-body Schroedinger equation with two-body central potentials is derived. It combines kinematic rotations (democracy transformations) and exact calculation of overlap integrals between bases with different sets of mass-scaled Jacobi coordinates, thereby allowing for a great simplification of this formidable problem. We validate our method by obtaining a perfect correspondence with the exactly solvable three-body ($N=3$) Calogero model in 1D.
Single-particle energies of the $Lambda_c$ chamed baryon are obtained in several nuclei from the relevant self-energy constructed within the framework of a perturbative many-body approach. Results are presented for a charmed baryon-nucleon ($Y_cN$) potential based on a SU(4) extension of the meson-exchange hyperon-nucleon potential $tilde A$ of the J{u}lich group. Three different models (A, B and C) of this interaction, that differ only on the values of the couplings of the scalar $sigma$ meson with the charmed baryons, are considered. Phase shifts, scattering lengths and effective ranges are computed for the three models and compared with those predicted by the $Y_cN$ interaction derived in Eur. Phys. A {bf 54}, 199 (2018) from the extrapolation to the physical pion mass of recent results of the HAL QCD Collaboration. Qualitative agreement is found for two of the models (B and C) considered. Our results for $Lambda_c$-nuclei are compatible with those obtained by other authors based on different models and methods. We find a small spin-orbit splitting of the $p-, d-$ and $f-$wave states as in the case of single $Lambda$-hypernuclei. The level spacing of $Lambda_c$ single-particle energies is found to be smaller than that of the corresponding one for hypernuclei. The role of the Coulomb potential and the effect of the coupling of the $Lambda_cN$ and $Sigma_cN$ channels on the single-particle properties of $Lambda_c-$nuclei are also analyzed. Our results show that, despite the Coulomb repulsion between the $Lambda_c$ and the protons, even the less attractive one of our $Y_cN$ models (model C) is able to bind the $Lambda_c$ in all the nuclei considered. The effect of the $Lambda_cN-Sigma_cN$ coupling is found to be almost negligible due to the large mass difference of the $Lambda_c$ and $Sigma_c$ baryons.
State-of-the-art multi-reference energy density functional calculations require the computation of norm overlaps between different Bogoliubov quasiparticle many-body states. It is only recently that the efficient and unambiguous calculation of such norm kernels has become available under the form of Pfaffians~[L. M. Robledo, Phys. Rev. C79, 021302 (2009)]. The goals of this work is (i) to propose and implement an alternative to the Pfaffian method to compute unambiguously the norm overlap between arbitrary Bogoliubov quasiparticle states and (ii) to extend the first point to explicitly correlated norm kernels at play in recently developped particle-number-restored Bogoliubov coupled-cluster (PNR-BCC) and particle-number-restored many-body perturbation (PNR-BMBPT) ab initio theories~[T. Duguet and A. Signoracci, J. Phys. G44, 015103 (2017)]. Point (i) constitutes the purpose of the present paper while point (ii) is addressed in a forthcoming companion paper. We generalize the method used in~[T. Duguet and A. Signoracci, J. Phys. G44, 015103 (2017)] to obtain the norm overlap between arbitrary Bogoliubov product states under a closed-form expression. The formula is physically intuitive, accurate, versatile and relies on elementary linear algebra operations. It equally applies to norm overlaps between Bogoliubov states of even or odd number parity. Numerical applications illustrate these features and provide a transparent representation of the content of the norm overlaps. Furthermore, the closed-form expression extends naturally to correlated overlaps at play in PNR-BCC and PNR-BMBPT. As such, the straight overlap between Bogoliubov states is the zeroth-order reduction of more involved norm kernels to be studied in the forthcoming paper.
In triangular lattice structures, spatial anisotropy and frustration can lead to rich equilibrium phase diagrams with regions containing complex, highly entangled states of matter. In this work we study the driven two-rung triangular Hubbard model and evolve these states out of equilibrium, observing how the interplay between the driving and the initial state unexpectedly shuts down the particle-hole excitation pathway. This restriction, which symmetry arguments fail to predict, dictates the transient dynamics of the system, causing the available particle-hole degrees of freedom to manifest uniform long-range order. We discuss implications of our results for a recent experiment on photo-induced superconductivity in ${rm kappa - (BEDT-TTF)_{2}Cu[N(CN)_{2}]Br}$ molecules.
The Hohenberg-Kohn theorem and the Kohn-Sham equations, which are at the basis of the Density Functional Theory, are reformulated in terms of a particular many-body density, which is translational invariant and therefore is relevant for self-bound systems. In a similar way that there is a unique relation between the one-body density and the external potential that gives rise to it, we demonstrate that there is a unique relation between that particular many-body density and a definite many-body potential. The energy is then a functional of this density and its minimization leads to the ground-state energy of the system. As a proof of principle, the analogous of the Kohn-Sham equation is solved in the specific case of $^4$He atomic clusters, to put in evidence the advantages of this new formulation in terms of physical insights.
