Abstract
Potential-energy surfaces are obtained for the three dynamical-symmetry chains of SO(8) within the fermion-dynamical-symmetry model. A remarkable feature is that the SO(7) dynamical symmetry is transitional and β soft. The transitional or ‘‘critical’’ behavior of SO(7) is vividly demonstrated.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
