We investigate the relation of $a^dagger a$ terms in the collective operator to the higher-order terms in the adiabatic self-consistent collective coordinate (ASCC) method. In the ASCC method, a state vector is written as $e^{ihat G(q,p,n)}|phi(q)rangle$ with $hat G(q,p,n)$ which is a function of collective coordinate $q$, its conjugate momentum $p$ and the particle number $n$. According to the generalized Thouless theorem, $hat G$ can be written as a linear combination of two-quasiparticle creation and annihilation operators $a^dagger_mu a^dagger_ u$ and $a_ u a_mu$. We show that, if $a^dagger a$ terms are included in $hat G(q,p,n)$, it corresponds to the higher-order terms in the adiabatic expansion of $hat G$. This relation serves as a prescription to determine the higher-order collective operators from the $a^dagger a$ part of the collective operator, once it is given without solving the higher-order equations of motion.
We propose a new set of equations to determine the collective Hamiltonian including the second-order collective-coordinate operator on the basis of the adiabatic self-consistent collective-coordinate (ASCC) theory. We illustrate, with the two-level Lipkin model, that the collective operators including the second-order one are self-consistently determined. We compare the results of the calculations with and without the second-order operator and show that, without the second-order operator, the agreement with the exact solution becomes worse as the excitation energy increases, but that, with the second-order operator included, the exact solution is well reproduced even for highly excited states. We also reconsider which equations one should adopt as the basic equations in the case where only the first-order operator is taken into account, and suggest an alternative set of fundamental equations instead of the conventional ASCC equations. Moreover, we briefly discuss the gauge symmetry of the new basic equations we propose in this paper.
The adiabatic self-consistent collective coordinate (ASCC) method is a practical method for the description of large-amplitude collective motion in atomic nuclei with superfluidity and an advanced version of the adiabatic time-dependent Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov theory. We investigate the gauge symmetry in the ASCC method on the basis of the theory of constrained systems. The gauge symmetry in the ASCC method is originated from the constraint on the particle number in the collective Hamiltonian, and it is partially broken by the adiabatic expansion. The validity of the adiabatic expansion under the general gauge transformation is also discussed.
We construct a model of higher dimensional cosmology in which extra dimensions are frozen by virtue of the cubic-order Lovelock gravity throughout the cosmic history from inflation to the present with radiation and matter-dominated regimes in between.
We study $(2,2)$ and $(4,4)$ supersymmetric theories with superspace higher derivatives in two dimensions. A characteristic feature of these models is that they have several different vacua, some of which break supersymmetry. Depending on the vacuum, the equations of motion describe different propagating degrees of freedom. Various examples are presented which illustrate their generic properties. As a by-product we see that these new vacua give a dynamical way of generating non-linear realizations. In particular, our 2D $(4,4)$ example is the dimensional reduction of a 4D $N=2$ model, and gives a new way for the spontaneous breaking of extended supersymmetry.
In this paper, we first introduce the reader to the Basic Scheme of Moulinec and Suquet in the setting of quasi-static linear elasticity, which takes advantage of the fast Fourier transform on homogenized microstructures to accelerate otherwise time-consuming computations. By means of an asymptotic expansion, a hierarchy of linear problems is derived, whose solutions are looked at in detail. It is highlighted how these generalized homogenization problems depend on each other. We extend the Basic Scheme to fit this new problem class and give some numerical results for the first two problem orders.
