Description

Given the spectrum of a Hamiltonian, a methodology is developed which employs the Landau-Ginsburg theory for characterizing phase transitions in infinite systems to identify phase transition remnants in finite fermion systems. As a first application of our approach we discuss pairing in finite nuclei. (orig.)
