Interplay of pairing and multipole interactions in a simple model

The interplay of pairing and other interactions is addressed in this work using a simple single-j model. We show that enhancements in pairing correlations, observed through studies of the spectra of deformed systems, moments of inertia, changes in transitional multipole amplitudes, and direct calculations of the pairing component in the wave function, indicate that even without explicit matrix elements responsible for pairing, a paired state can still appear from the kinematic coupling of pairing to deformation and from other geometrical restrictions that are of extreme importance in mesoscopic systems. Furthermore, we demonstrate that macroscopic transitions such as oblate to prolate shape changes can lead to strong dynamic enhancements of pairing correlations. In this work we emphasize that the pairing condensate has an important dynamic and kinematic effect on other residual interactions.
