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.
