We present self-consistent semi-classical local densities characterising the structure of rotating nuclei. A particular emphasis is put on those densities which are generated by the breaking of time-reversal symmetry through the cranking piece of the Routhian, namely the current density and the spin vector density. Our approach which is based on the Extended-Thomas-Fermi method goes beyond the Inglis cranking approach and contains naturally the Thouless-Valatin self-consistency terms expressing the response of the mean field to the time-odd part of the density matrix.

The high-spin state properties of the neutron–proton (np) residual effective interaction are analyzed in N = Z72 Kr , 76 Sr , and 80 Zr nuclei. The self-consistent microscopic Hartree–Fock–Bogoliubov (HFB) equations have been solved by employing monopole corrected two-body effective interaction. A band crossing is observed in 72 Kr nucleus at J = 14ℏ state with monopole corrected "HPU1" and "HPU2" effective interactions. The VAP–HFB theory suggests that the "4p–4h" excitations by np residual interaction are the essential ingredients of the mean-field description of the occurence of backbending in 72 Kr nucleus.

A method is described for the restoration of translation or rotation symmetry to a system of fermions, starting from a self-consistent cranking solution and valid when either momentum or angular momentum is large enough so that semi-classical approximations are valid. The quantum fluctuations that restore the broken symmetry are described in terms of the particle-hole degrees of freedom of the original system rather than by mapping these variables onto a boson space, as in most previous work. Only the leading quantum correction to the mean field solution is worked out in detail. New results include the treatment of direct and exchange effects on an equal footing and a method for computing transition rates.

We discuss dynamical pairing correlations in the context of configuration mixing of projected self-consistent mean-field states, and the origin of a divergence that might appear when such calculations are done using an energy functional in the spirit of a naive generalized density functional theory.

In this paper, a comparison is made between two multiscale methods, namely crystal plasticity finite element and mean field on a material composed of two phases. Both methods are used to homogenize a given microstructure. In order to obtain macroscopic behavior, in the mean field approach, a Self-Consistent scheme is used to evaluate stress and strain partitioning among the phases. In this method, an average of the fields is estimated and local distributions cannot be captured. In parallel, crystal plasticity simulations on Representative Volume Elements (RVEs) composed of hexagonal grains are performed. In these simulations, grain orientations are attributed randomly respecting Mackenzie's distribution function in order to achieve isotropic behavior and macroscopic hardening is extracted from the simulations. The results on macroscopic hardening of both methods are compared to distinguish the extents of validity of mean field homogenization. In addition to Self- Consistent, other mean field schemes such as Voigt, Reuss and Bound-Interpolation are compared in terms of efficiency and accuracy. The comparison manifests that Self-Consistent scheme is capable of predicting material behavior well.

A non-convergent difficulty near level-repulsive region is discussed within the self-consistent mean-field theory. It is shown by numerical and analytic studies that the mean-field is not realized in the many-fermion system when quantum fluctuations coming from two-body residual interaction and quadrupole deformation are larger than an energy difference between two avoided crossing orbits. An analytic condition indicating a limitation of the mean-field concept is derived for the first time.

Time-reversal symmetric topological insulator (TI) is a novel state of matter that a bulk-insulating state carries dissipationless spin transport along the surfaces, embedded by the Z2 topological invariant. In the noninteracting limit, this exotic state has been intensively studied and explored with realistic systems, such as HgTe/(Hg, Cd)Te quantum wells. On the other hand, electronic correlation plays a significant role in many solid-state systems, which further influences topological properties and triggers topological phase transitions. Yet an interacting TI is still an elusive subject and most related analyses rely on the mean-field approximation and numerical simulations. Among the approaches, the mean-field approximation fails to predict the topological phase transition, in particular at intermediate interaction strength without spontaneously breaking symmetry. In this paper, we develop an analytical approach based on a combined perturbative and self-consistent mean-field treatment of interactions that is capable of capturing topological phase transitions beyond either method when used independently. As an illustration of the method, we study the effects of short-ranged interactions on the Z2 TI phase, also known as the quantum spin Hall (QSH) phase, in three generalized versions of the Kane–Mele (KM) model at half-filling on the honeycomb lattice. The results are in excellent agreement with quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) calculations on the same model and cannot be reproduced by either a perturbative treatment or a self-consistent mean-field treatment of the interactions. Our analytical approach helps to clarify how the symmetries of the one-body terms of the Hamiltonian determine whether interactions tend to stabilize or destabilize a topological phase. Moreover, our method should be applicable to a wide class of models where topological transitions due to interactions are in principle possible, but are not correctly predicted by either perturbative or self-consistent treatments.

We present a detailed analysis of the dynamical regimes observed in a balanced network of identical Quadratic Integrate-and-Fire (QIF) neurons with a sparse connectivity for homogeneous and heterogeneous in-degree distribution. Depending on the parameter values, either an asynchronous regime or periodic oscillations spontaneously emerge. Numerical simulations are compared with a mean field model based on a self-consistent Fokker-Planck equation (FPE). The FPE reproduces quite well the asynchronous dynamics in the homogeneous case by either assuming a Poissonian or renewal distribution for the incoming spike trains. An exact self consistent solution for the mean firing rate obtained in the limit of infinite in-degree allows identifying balanced regimes that can be either mean- or fluctuation-driven. A low-dimensional reduction of the FPE in terms of circular cumulants is also considered. Two cumulants suffice to reproduce the transition scenario observed in the network. The emergence of periodic collective oscillations is well captured both in the homogeneous and heterogeneous setups by the mean field models upon tuning either the connectivity, or the input DC current. In the heterogeneous situation we analyze also the role of structural heterogeneity.
