Pair correlations and the time-dependent Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov method in the theory of nuclear structure

It is shown that an idea of the superfluidity of nuclear matter and the u-v transformation of Bogoliubov, time-dependent Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov method have made a strong impact on the development of the modern nuclear theory. Some applications of the Bogoliubov methods to describe properties of the low-lying collective nuclear states and the giant resonances are demonstrated.
