The Density Matrix Renormalization Group and the Nuclear Shell Model
Recibido el 30 de enero de 2009; aceptado el 18 de marzo de 2009We summarize our recent efforts to develop the Density Matrix Renormalization Group (DMRG) method into a practical truncation strategyfor large-scale nuclear shell model calculations. Following an overview of the essential features of the DMRG, we discuss the changes wehave implemented for its use in nuclei. In particular, we have found it useful to develop an angular-momentum conserving variant of themethod (the JDMRG). We then summarize the principal results we have obtained to date, ﬁrst reporting test results for
