Signatures of criticality in the evolution of the nuclear ground-state shapes across the N× Z
plane are discussed. Attention is paid to specific data indicating sudden structural changes …

Quantum algebras are a mathematical tool which provides us with a class of symmetries
wider than that of Lie algebras, which are contained in the former as a special case. After a …

The first edition, by PR Bunker, published in 1979, remains the sole textbook that explains
the use of the molecular symmetry group in understanding high resolution molecular …

Analytic Description of Critical Point Nuclei in a Spherical-Axially Deformed Shape Phase
Transition Page 1 VOLUME 87, NUMBER 5 PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS 30JULY 2001 …

A new class of dynamic symmetries is introduced. It is suggested that an element of this
class, associated with zeros of Bessel functions, be used to describe spectra of nuclei at or …

There has been a resurgence of interest in classical invariant theory driven by several
factors: new theoretical developments; a revival of computational methods coupled with …

This book introduces the factorization method in quantum mechanics at an advanced level,
with the aim of putting mathematical and physical concepts and techniques like the …

The third edition of a classic book, Basic Ideas and Concepts in Nuclear Physics sets out in
a clear and consistent manner the various elements of nuclear physics. Divided into four …

Phenomena analogous to ground state quantum phase transitions have recently been noted
to occur among states throughout the excitation spectra of certain many-body models. These …

In the second part of the twentieth century, algebraic methods have emerged as a powerful
tool to study theories of physical phenomena, especially those of quantal systems. The …
