Overlap between Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov(HFB) vacua is very important in the beyond mean-field calculations. However, in the HFB transformation, the $U,V$ matrices are sometimes singular due to the exact emptiness ($v_i=0$) or full occupation ($u_i=0$) of some single-particle orbits. This singularity may cause some problem in evaluating the overlap between HFB vacua through Pfaffian. We found that this problem can be well avoided by setting those zero occupation numbers to some tiny values (e.g., $u_i,v_i=10^{-8}$). This treatment does not change the HFB vacuum state because $u_i^2,v_i^2=10^{-16}$ are numerically zero relative to 1. Therefore, for arbitrary HFB transformation, we say that the $U,V$ matrices can always be nonsingular. From this standpoint, we present a new convenient Pfaffian formula for the overlap between arbitrary HFB vacua, which is especially suitable for symmetry restoration. Testing calculations have been performed for this new formula. It turns out that our method is reliable and accurate in evaluating the overlap between arbitrary HFB vacua.

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 n orm 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.

Background: The Density-constraint Time-dependent Hartree-Fock method is currently the tool of choice to predict fusion cross-sections. However, it does not include pairing correlations, which have been found recently to play an important role. Purpo se: To describe the fusion cross-section with a method that includes the superfluidity and to understand the impact of pairing on both the fusion barrier and cross-section. Method: The density-constraint method is tested first on the following reactions without pairing, $^{16}$O+$^{16}$O and $^{40}$Ca+$^{40}$Ca. A new method is developed, the Density-constraint Time-dependent Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov method. Using the Gogny-TDHFB code, it is applied to the reactions $^{20}$O+$^{20}$O and $^{44}$Ca+$^{44}$Ca. Results: The Gogny approach for systems without pairing reproduces the experimental data well. The DC-TDHFB method is coherent with the TDHFB fusion threshold. The effect of the phase-lock mechanism is shown for those reactions. Conclusions: The DC-TDHFB method is a useful new tool to determine the fusion potential between superfluid systems and to deduce their fusion cross-sections.

The variational Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) mean-field theory is the starting point of various (ab initio) many-body methods dedicated to superfluid systems. While taking the zero-pairing limit of HFB equations constitutes a text-book problem when the system is of closed-(sub)shell character, it is typically, although wrongly, thought to be ill-defined whenever the naive filling of single-particle levels corresponds to an open-shell system. The present work demonstrates that the zero-pairing limit of an HFB state is mathematically well-defined, independently of the closed- or open-shell character of the system in the limit. Still, the nature of the limit state strongly depends on the underlying shell structure and on the associated naive filling reached in the zero-pairing limit for the particle number A of interest. All the analytical findings are confirmed and illustrated numerically. While HFB theory has been intensively scrutinized formally and numerically over the last decades, it still uncovers unknown and somewhat unexpected features. From this general perspective, the present analysis demonstrates that HFB theory does not reduce to Hartree-Fock theory even when the pairing field is driven to zero in the HFB Hamiltonian matrix.
We have explored the occurrence of the spherical shell closures for superheavy nuclei in the framework of the relativistic Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (RHFB) theory. Shell effects are characterized in terms of two-nucleon gaps $delta_{2n(p)}$. Although t he results depend slightly on the effective Lagrangians used, the general set of magic numbers beyond $^{208}$Pb are predicted to be $Z = 120$, $138$ for protons and $N = 172$, 184, 228 and 258 for neutrons, respectively. Specifically the RHFB calculations favor the nuclide $^{304}$120 as the next spherical doubly magic one beyond $^{208}$Pb. Shell effects are sensitive to various terms of the mean-field, such as the spin-orbit coupling, the scalar and effective masses.

We solve the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) equations for a spherical mean field and a pairing potential with the inverse Hamiltonian method, which we have developed for the solution of the Dirac equation. This method is based on the variational princ iple for the inverse Hamiltonian, and is applicable to Hamiltonians that are bound neither from above nor below. We demonstrate that the method works well not only for the Dirac but also for the HFB equations.
