Background: Spectroscopic factors, overlaps, and isospin symmetry are often used in conjunction with single-particle wave functions for the phenomenological analysis of nuclear structure and reactions. Many differing prescriptions for connecting these quantities to physically relevant asymptotic normalization constants or widths are available in the literature, but their relationship and degree of validity are not always clear. Purpose: This paper derives relationships among the above quantities of interest using well-defined methodology and starting assumptions. Method: $R$-matrix theory is used as the primary tool to interoperate between the quantities of interest to this work. Particular attention is paid to effects arising from beyond the nuclear surface, where isospin symmetry is strongly violated. Results: Relationships among the quantities of interest are derived. Example applications of these methods to mirror levels in nucleon+${}^{12}{rm C}$, nucleon+${}^{16}{rm O}$, and nucleon+${}^{26}{rm Al}$ are presented. A new approach to multi-level mirror symmetry is derived and applied to the first three $2^+$ states of ${}^{18}{rm O}$ and ${}^{18}{rm Ne}$. Conclusions: The relationship between the quantities of interest is clarified and certain procedures are recommended. It is found that the asymptotic normalization constant of the second $2^+$ state in ${}^{18}{rm Ne}$ deduced from the mirror state in ${}^{18}{rm O}$ is significantly larger than found in previous work. This finding has the effect of increasing the ${}^{17}{rm F}(p,gamma){}^{18}{rm Ne}$ reaction rate in novae.
An alternative parameterization of R-matrix theory is presented which is mathematically equivalent to the standard approach, but possesses features which simplify the fitting of experimental data. In particular there are no level shifts and no bounda
An exactly solvable sp(4) algebraic approach extends beyond the traditional isospin conserving nuclear interaction to bring forward effects of isospin symmetry breaking and isospin mixing resulting from a two-body nuclear interaction that includes pr
The spectroscopic factor has long played a central role in nuclear reaction theory. However, it is not an observable. Consequently it is of minimal use as a meeting point between theory and experiment. In this paper the nature of the problem is explo
The strong interactions among nucleons have an approximate spin-isospin exchange symmetry that arises from the properties of quantum chromodynamics in the limit of many colors, $N_c$. However this large-$N_c$ symmetry is well hidden and reveals itsel
In this study it is demonstrated that a simple picture of the QCD gluon liquid emerges in the dynamical quasiparticle model that specifies the active degrees of freedom in the time-like sector and yields a potential energy density in the space-like
