Abstract
Applications of an extended version of the Hartree-Fock theory and the random-phase approximation derived from the time-dependent density-matrix theory (TDDM) are presented. In this TDDM-based theory, the ground state is given as a stationary solution of the TDDM equations and the excited states are calculated using the small-amplitude limit of TDDM. The first application presented is an extended Lipkin model in which an interaction term describing a particle scattering is added to the original Hamiltonian so that the damping of a collective state is taken into account. It is found that the TDDM-based theory well reproduces the ground state and excited states of the extended Lipkin model. The quadrupole excitation of the oxygen isotopes $^{16,20,22}\mathrm{O}$ is also studied as realistic applications of the TDDM-based theory. It is found that large fragmentation of the giant quadrupole resonance in $^{16}\mathrm{O}$ is reproduced, and it is pointed out that the effects of ground-state correlations are quite important for fragmentation. It is also found that the quadrupole states in neutron-rich oxygen isotopes have small spreading widths.
