Constraining symmetry restorations within the nuclear energy density functional method |
J. Sadoudi, T. Duguet |
We review the notion of symmetry breaking and restoration within the frame of nuclear energy density functional methods. We focus on key differences between wave-function- and energy-functional-based methods. In particular, we point to difficulties to formulate the restoration of symmetries within the energy functional framework. |
