| contents | Novel equations for the electric dipole polarizability $α_{_{E1}}$ of low-lying excited states in atomic nuclei -- and the related $(-2)$ moment of the total photo-absorption cross section, $σ_{_{-2}}$ -- are inferred in terms of electric dipole and quadrupole matrix elements. These equations are valid for arbitrary angular momenta of the initial/ground and final/excited states and have been exploited in fully converged 1$\hbarω$ shell-model calculations of selected {\it p-} and {\it sd-}shell nuclei that consider configuration mixing; advancing previous knowledge from $^{17}$O to $^{36}$Ar, where thousands of electric dipole matrix elements are computed from isovector excitations which include the giant dipole resonance region. Our results are in reasonable agreement with previous shell-model calculations and follow -- except for $^{6,7}$Li and $^{17,18}$O -- Migdal's global trend provided by the combination of the hydrodynamic model and second-order non-degenerate perturbation theory. Discrepancies in $^{6,7}$Li and $^{17}$O arise as a result of the presence of $α$-cluster configurations in odd-mass nuclei, whereas the disagreement in $^{18}$O comes from the mixing of intruder states, which is lacking in the shell-model interactions. More advanced \emph{ab initio} calculations of the dipole polarizability for low-lying excited states covering all the isovector states within the giant dipole resonance region are missing and could be very valuable to benchmark the results presented here and shed further light on how atomic nuclei polarize away from the ground state |
