Opis

This book describes the mathematical framework on which the interacting boson-fermion model is built and presents applications to a variety of situations encountered in nuclei. It addresses both the analytical and the numerical aspects of the problem. The analytical aspect requires the introduction of rather complex group theoretic methods, including the use of graded (or super) Lie algebras. The first (and so far only) example of supersymmetry occurring in nature is also discussed.

Recenzje

'Being a comprehensive treatment on the subject, the book is bound to appeal to theoreticians and experimentalists alike to a large extent without any doubt, whatsoever.' Zentralblatt MATH
