Norm-overlap formula of Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov states with odd number parity

Abstract

A formula to calculate a norm overlap between Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) states with the odd number parity (one quasi-particle excited states) is derived with help of the Grassmann numbers and the Fermion coherent states. The final form of the formula is expressed in terms of a product of the Pfaffian for a neighboring even-even system (the zero quasi-particle state), and an extra factor consisting of the Bogoliubov transformation matrix and the anti-symmetric matrix in Thouless' HFB ansatz for the even-even system.
