One-body and Two-body Fractional Parentage Coefficients for Spinor Bose–Einstein Condensation

Abstract

A very effective tool, namely, the analytical expression of the fractional parentage coefficients (FPC), is introduced in this paper to deal with the total spin states of N-body spinor bosonic systems, where N is supposed to be large and the spin of each boson is one. In particular, the analytical forms of the one-body and two-body FPC for the total spin states with {N} and {N-1,1} permutation symmetries have been derived. These coefficients facilitate greatly the calculation of related matrix elements, and they can be used even in the case of N→∞. They appear as a powerful tool for the establishment of an improved theory of spinor Bose Einstein condensation, where the eigenstates have the total spin S and its Z-component being both conserved.
