Synopsis

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.

Book Description

This book gives an account of the properties of the interacting boson model. In particular, this book presents the mathematical techniques used to analyze the structure of the model.

Review

"...a comprehensive review of the present status of odd and odd-odd nuclei viewed from the interacting boson-fermion model, and this book also points to the areas where more research needs to be done. For this reason, it could serve as a useful reference book for both graduate students and researchers." Joseph Ginocchio, Foundations of Physics
