The scheme is an extension of the generator-coordinate-method (GCM) within Gaussian overlap approximation (GOA). We show that GOA fails in non-Cartesian topologies and present a topologically correct generalization of GOA (topGOA). An RPA-like correction is derived as the small amplitude limit of topGOA, called topRPA. Using exactly solvable models, the topGOA and topRPA schemes are compared with conventional approaches (GCM-GOA, RPA, Lipkin-Nogami projection) for rotational-vibrational motion and for particle number projection. The results shows that the new schemes perform very well in all regimes of coupling.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2002-02-27T02:57:29.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "21.10.Dr", "21.60.Jz" ], "keywords": [ "particle number projection", "gaussian overlap approximation", "estimate ground state correlations", "small amplitude limit", "test efficient approximations" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
