Abstract

Given a single j-shell Hamiltonian, the algebraic conditions for conservation of seniority are derived from a quasispin tensor decomposition of the two-nucleon interaction. This makes it possible to construct useful solvable and partially solvable shell-model Hamiltonians with eigenstates classified by a spectrum generating algebra. Applications are made to the low-lying energy levels of the N = 50 nuclear isotones.
