الوصف: Giant Resonances are, with nuclear rotations, the most evident expression of collectivity in finite nuclei. These two categories of excitations, however, are traditionally described within different formal schemes, such that vibrational and rotational degrees of freedom are separately treated and coupling effects between those are often neglected. The present work puts forward an approach aiming at a consitent treatment of vibrations and rotations. Specifically, this paper is the last in a series of four dedicated to the investigation of the giant monopole resonance in doubly open-shell nuclei via the ab initio Projected Generator Coordinate Method (PGCM). The present focus is on the treatment and impact of angular momentum restoration within such calculations. The PGCM being based on the use of deformed mean-field states, the angular-momentum restoration is performed when solving the secular equation to extract vibrational excitations. In this context, it is shown that performing the angular momentum restoration only after solving the secular equation contaminates the monopole response with an unphysical coupling to the rotational motion, as was also shown recently for (quasi-particle) random phase approximation calculations based on a deformed reference state. Eventually, the present work based on the PGCM confirms that an a priori angular momentum restoration is necessary to handle consistently both collective motions at the same time. This further pleads in favor of implementing the full-fledged projected (quasi-particle) random phase approximation in the future.
