Properties of Relativistic Mean-Field Theory

If we understand FM or magnetic properties of quark matter more deeply, we must proceeds to a self-consistent approach, like Hartree-Fock theory, beyond the previous perturbative argument. In ref. [11] we have described how the axial-vector mean field (AV) and the tensor one appear as a consequence of the Fierz transformation within the relativistic mean-field theory for nuclear matter, which is one of the nonperturbative frameworks in many-body theories and corresponds to the Hatree-Fock approximation. We also demonstrated... 

Relativistic mean field (RMF) models have been applied successfully to describe properties of rinite nuclei. In general ground state energies, spin-orbit splittings, etc. can be described well in terms of a few parameters ref. [18]. Recently it has lead to the suggestion that the bulk SE is strongly correlated with the neutron skin [19, 20] (see below). In essence the method is based upon the use of energy-density functional (EDF) theory. 

The relativistic mean meson field (R.MF) theory formulated by Teller and others [8, 9, 10] and by Walecka [11] is quite successful in both infinite nuclear matter and finite nuclei[12, 13, 14]. In the RMF model, only positive-energy baryonic states are considered to study the properties of ordinary nuclei. This is the so-called no-sea-approximation . However, an interesting feature of the RMF theory is the existence of bound negative-energy baryonic states. This happens because the interaction with the vector field generated by the baryon-...
