It is shown that an application of the thermo field dynamics ( T F D ) to the thermal Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (THFB) theory leads to the extended form of the Bloch-Messiah theorem for the finite temperature formalism. The generalized density matrix defined on the enlarged operator space including tilded operators takes into account the thermal fluctuation of fermion number for the system under consideration.
1. The thermal Hartree-Foek-Bogoliubov (THFB) approximation
Straightforward extension of the Hartree-FockBogoliubov (HFB) approximation [1-3 ] within the statistical recipe gives the thermal HFB (THFB) approximation scheme for the many-body system thermally equilibrated at finite temperature [4-6]. The usefulness of the self-consistent solution to the THFB equation has been demonstrated for the description of the average properties of deformed nuclei in the excited region above the yrast line [4,7-10]. Furthermore, the thermal random phase approximation (TRPA) equation [11,12] based on the THFB solution has had success in the application to the giantdipole resonances built on hot rotating nuclei [1315 ]. It is shown that the TRPA equation is extended to take into account the effect of thermal fluctuations [ 16] by applying the thermo field dynamics (TFD) proposed by Takahashi and Umezawa [ 17,18 ]. The purpose of the present paper is to clarify a basic property of the THFB approximation that already includes the thermal fluctuation effect of particle 202
number, which can be directly demonstrated by the application of the TFD. First we briefly review the THFB approximation. In the variational derivation of the THFB equation [5], the variational parameters Aku, Bku, AT,u, BT,u and E u are introduced through the generalized Bogoliubov transformation
subject to WtW= WW*=I.

The trial density matrix is given by ~=

(3)
The standard form of the THFB equation is derived from the variational principle applied to the grand potential in case of a finite system like a nucleus, fiF= ~( ( B - 2 p 2 - 2 , N - O)Yx) - S T ) = 0 ,

which is simply the thermal fluctuation of fermion number. Therefore, the Bloch-Messiah theorem [ 19 ] proved with the relation R - R 2 = 0 seems not to hold for the THFB scheme as pointed out in ref. [ 5 ]. This means that the pair tensor x does not take a canonical form even in the quasiparticle picture in which the density p is diagonalized.

Hence, the quasiparticle operators o~u and ~u are related to the new operators flu and flu by the special Bogoliubov transformation, °tu = eG flu e - a =guflu + gu/~*u,

An essential feature of the TFD is that the ensemble average of any operator 0 is expressed in terms of the vacuum expectation value, i.e. <0> = T r ( f f 0 ) =

Since the whole formalism is developed on the vacuum 10(fl) ) defined for a given temperature, a parallel of this extended form of the THFB scheme holds to the HFB scheme. As a direct consequence, the extended single-particle density matrix and pair tensor are to be defined by
