  16. GRUPO ESTRUCTURA NUCLEAR Phase transitions in quantum many-body systems within algebraic models: Given two hamiltonians H1 and H2 that describe different system structures, a transitional hamiltonian can be constructed as H = x H1 + (1-x) H2 A QPT occurs at some critical value of the control parameter x that controls the relative weight of H1 and H2 Algebraic models are very well suited to study such hamiltonians since in that case H1 and H2 correspond to different dynamical symmetries. QPT's in boson, fermion and mixed systems can be studied. TOPICS (2011) • Nuclei (collaboration with Padova and Huelva): - odd-even nuclei and critical point symmetries within IBFA. - effect of three-body terms within the IBA. • Molecules (collaboration with Huelva): - finite size N effects in molecular systems within the vibron model. • Lipkin model (collaboration with Huelva and CSIC Madrid): - phase transitions in excited states and its connection with quantum decoherence. • Dicke model (collaboration with CSIC Madrid, Huelva and Prague): - phase transitions in excited states and the connection with quantum chaos.
