Exactly solvable models for atom-molecule Hamiltonians.

We present a family of exactly solvable generalizations of the Jaynes-Cummings model involving the interaction of an ensemble of SU(2) or SU(1,1) quasispins with a single boson field. They are obtained from the trigonometric Richardson-Gaudin models by replacing one of the SU(2) or SU(1,1) degrees of freedom by an ideal boson. The application to a system of bosonic atoms and molecules is reported.

Electrostatic mapping of nuclear pairing.

The traditional nuclear pairing problem is shown to be in one-to-one correspondence with a classical electrostatic problem in two dimensions. We make use of this analogy in a series of calculations in the tin region, showing that the extremely rich phenomenology that appears in this classical problem can provide interesting new insights into nuclear superconductivity.

New mechanism for the enhancement of sd dominance in interacting boson models.

We introduce an exactly solvable model for interacting bosons that extend up to high spin and interact through a repulsive pairing force. The model exhibits a phase transition to a state with almost complete sd dominance. The repulsive pairing interaction that underlies the model has a natural microscopic origin in the Pauli exclusion principle between constituent nucleons. As such, repulsive pairing between bosons seems to provide a new mechanism for the enhancement of sd dominance, giving further support for the validity of the sd interacting boson model.
