We search for approximate, but analytic solutions of the pairing problem for one pair of nucleons in many levels of a potential well. For the collective energy a general formula, independent of the details of the single particle spectrum, is given in both the strong and weak coupling regimes. Next the displacements of the solutions trapped in between the single particle levels with respect to the unperturbed energies are explored: their dependence upon a suitably defined quantum number is found to undergo a transition between two different regimes.

We address the problem of two pairs of fermions living on an arbitrary number of single particle levels of a potential well (mean field) and interacting through a pairing force. The associated solutions of the Richardsons equations are classified in terms of a number $v_l$, which reduces to the seniority $v$ in the limit of large values of the pairing strength $G$ and yields the number of pairs not developing a collective behaviour, their energy remaining finite in the $Gtoinfty$ limit. We express analytically, through the moments of the single particle levels distribution, the collective mode energy and the two critical values $G_{rm cr}^{+}$ and $G_{rm cr}^{-}$ of the coupling which can exist on a single particle level with no pair degeneracy. Notably $G_{rm cr}^{+}$ and $G_{rm cr}^{-}$ merge when the number of single particle levels goes to infinity, where they coincide with the $G_{rm cr}$ (when it exists) of a one pair system, not envisioned by the Richardson theory. In correspondence of $G_{rm cr}$ the system undergoes a transition from a mean field to a pairing dominated regime. We finally explore the behaviour of the excitation energies, wave functions and pair transfer amplitudes finding out that the former, for $G>G_{rm cr}^{-}$, come close to the BCS predictions, whereas the latter display a divergence at $G_{rm cr}$, signaling the onset of a long range off-diagonal order in the system.
We introduce an exact numerical technique to solve the nuclear pairing Hamiltonian and to determine properties such as the even-odd mass differences or spectral functions for any element within the periodic table for any number of nuclear shells. In particular, we show that the nucleus is a system with small entanglement and can thus be described efficiently using a one-dimensional tensor network (matrix-product state) despite the presence of long-range interactions. Our approach is numerically cheap and accurate to essentially machine precision, even for large nuclei. We apply this framework to compute the even-odd mass differences of all known lead isotopes from $^{178}$Pb to $^{220}$Pb in the very large configuration space of 13 shells between the neutron magic numbers 82 and 184 (i.e., two major shells) and find good agreement with the experiment. To go beyond the ground state, we calculate the two-neutron removal spectral function of $^{210}$Pb which relates to a two-neutron pickup experiment that probes neutron-pair excitations across the gap of $^{208}$Pb. Finally, we discuss the capabilities of our method to treat pairing with non-zero angular momentum. This is numerically more demanding, but one can still determine the lowest excited states in the full configuration space of one major shell with modest effort, which we demonstrate for the $N=126$, $Zgeq 82$ isotones.
We study the excited states of the pairing Hamiltonian providing an expansion for their energy in the strong coupling limit. To assess the role of the pairing interaction we apply the formalism to the case of a heavy atomic nucleus. We show that only a few statistical moments of the level distribution are sufficient to yield an accurate estimate of the energy for not too small values of the coupling $G$ and we give the analytic expressions of the first four terms of the series. Further, we discuss the convergence radius $G_{rm sing}$ of the expansion showing that it strongly depends upon the details of the level distribution. Furthermore $G_{rm sing}$ is not related to the critical values of the coupling $G_{rm crit}$, which characterize the physics of the pairing Hamiltonian, since it can exist even in the absence of these critical points.
A new stochastic number projection method is proposed. The component of the BCS wave function corresponding to the right number of particles is obtained by means of a Metropolis algorithm in which the weight functions are constructed from the single- particle occupation probability. Either standard BCS or Lipkin-Nogami probability distributions can be used, thus the method is applicable for any pairing strength. The accuracy of the method is tested in the computation of pairing energies of model and real systems.
An algebraic Quantum Field Theory formulation of separable pairing interaction for spherical finite systems is presented. The Lipkin formulation of the model Hamiltonian and model wave function is used. The Green function technique is applied to obta in the model energy through the spectral function. Closed equation for the many-body energy of the system is given and comparison with exact models are performed.
