Collective states of the odd-mass nuclei within the framework of the Interacting Vector Boson Model

A supersymmetric extension of the dynamical symmetry group $Sp^{B}(12,R)$ of the Interacting Vector Boson Model (IVBM), to the orthosymplectic group $OSp(2\Omega/12,R)$ is developed in order to incorporate fermion degrees of freedom into the nuclear dynamics and to encompass the treatment of odd mass nuclei. The bosonic sector of the supergroup is used to describe the complex collective spectra of the neighboring even-even nuclei and is considered as a core structure of the odd nucleus. The fermionic sector is represented by the fermion spin group $SO^{F}(2\Omega)\supset SU^{F}(2)$. The so obtained, new exactly solvable limiting case is applied for the description of the nuclear collective spectra of odd mass nuclei. The theoretical predictions for different collective bands in three odd mass nuclei, namely $^{157}Gd$, $^{173}Yb$ and $^{163}Dy$ from rare earth region are compared with the experiment. The $B(E2)$ transition probabilities for the $^{157}Gd$ and $^{163}Dy$ between the states of the ground band are also studied. The important role of the symplectic structure of the model for the proper reproduction of the $B(E2)$ behavior is revealed. The obtained results reveal the applicability of the models extension.Comment: 18 pages, 8 figure

Deformations of the Boson sp(4,R)sp(4,R) Representation and its Subalgebras

The boson representation of the sp(4,R) algebra and two distinct deformations of it, are considered, as well as the compact and noncompact subalgebras of each. The initial as well as the deformed representations act in the same Fock space. One of the deformed representation is based on the standard q-deformation of the boson creation and annihilation operators. The subalgebras of sp(4,R) (compact u(2) and three representations of the noncompact u(1,1) are also deformed and are contained in this deformed algebra. They are reducible in the action spaces of sp(4,R) and decompose into irreducible representations. The other deformed representation, is realized by means of a transformation of the q-deformed bosons into q-tensors (spinor-like) with respect to the standard deformed su(2). All of its generators are deformed and have expressions in terms of tensor products of spinor-like operators. In this case, an other deformation of su(2) appears in a natural way as a subalgebra and can be interpreted as a deformation of the angular momentum algebra so(3). Its representation is reducible and decomposes into irreducible ones that yields a complete description of the same

Analytic Formulae for the Matrix Elements of the Transition Operators in the Symplectic Extension of the Interacting Vector Boson Model

The tensor properties of all the generators of Sp(12,R) - the group of dynamical symmetry of the Interacting Vector Boson Model (IVBM), are given with respect to the reduction chain Sp(12,R) $\supset$ U(6) $\supset$ U(3) x U(2) $\supset$ O(3) x U(1). Matrix elements of the basic building blocks of the model are evaluated in symmetry adapted basis along the considered chain. As a result of this, the analytic form of the matrix elements of any operator in the enveloping algebra of the Sp(12,R), defining a certain transition operator, can be calculated. The procedure allows further applications of the symplectic IVBM for the description of transition probabilities between nuclear collective states.Comment: 6 page

Energy Systematics of Low-lying Collective States within the Framework of the Interacting Vector Boson Model

In a new application of the algebraic Interacting Vector Boson Model (IVBM), we exploit the reduction of its Sp(12,R) dynamical symmetry group to Sp(4,R) x SO(3), which defines basis states with fixed values of the angular momentum L. The relationship of the latter to $U(6) \subset U(3)x U(2), which is the rotational limit of the model, means the energy distribution of collective states with fixed angular momentum can be studied. Results for low-lying spectra of rare-earth nuclei show that the energies of collective positive parity states with L=0,2,4,6... lie on second order curves with respect to the number of collective phonons n or vector bosons N=4n out of which the states are built. The analysis of this behavior leads to insight regarding the common nature of collective states, tracking vibrational as well as rotational features.Comment: 8 pages, 5 figures, 4 table

On the uniformly continuity of the solution map for two dimensional wave maps

The aim of this paper is to analyse the properties of the solution map to the Cauchy problem for the wave map equation with a source term, when the target is the hyperboloid ${\cal H}^2$ that is embedded in ${\cal R}^3$. The initial data are in ${\dot H}^1\times L^2$. We prove that the solution map is not uniformly continuous
