A particle-number-conserving solution to the generalized pairing problem

arXiv:nucl-th/9709036 · doi:10.1016/S0370-2693(98)00034-3

Abstract

An exact, number-conserving solution to the generalized, orbit-dependent pairing problem is derived by introducing an infinite-dimensional algebra. A method for obtaining eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the corresponding Hamiltonian is also given. The relevance of the orbit-dependent pairing solution is demonstrated by comparing predictions of the model with shell-model calculations.
