Abstract
A simple systematic procedure to construct the proton-neutron unitary, , orthogonal, , and quasi-spin algebras of the sd bosonic system is presented. New algebraic substructures of these algebras are discussed and the explicit formulae for their generators and Casimir operators are given in the spherical tensor form. The complementarity relationship of the Casimir operators of the and is derived. The exact algebraic solutions of the quantum phase transition Hamiltonian between the and limits has been considered, for the first time, in the framework of affine Lie algebra. The low lying energy spectra of the isotopes are calculated using the transition Hamiltonian. The good agreement of our computation with empirical result in these isotopes emphasizes the importance of limit. With this addition, symmetry can be extended to many nuclei.
