Classification of states of single-$j$ fermions with $J$-pairing interaction

Abstract

In this paper we show that a system of three fermions is exactly solvable for the case of a single-$j$ in the presence of an angular momentum-$J$ pairing interaction. On the basis of the solutions for this system, we obtain new sum rules for six-$j$ symbols. It is also found that the "non-integer" eigenvalues of three fermions with angular momentum $I$ around the maximum appear as "non-integer" eigenvalues of four fermions when $I$ is around (or larger than) $J_{\max }$ and the Hamiltonian contains only an interaction between pairs of fermions coupled to spin $J=J_{\max }=2j-1$. This pattern is also found in five and six fermion systems. A boson system with spin $l$ exhibits a similar pattern.
