J.D Walecka1
TL;DR: In this article, a model relativistic, many-body, quantum field theory composed of a baryon field, a neutral scalar meson field coupled to the scalar density ψ ψ, and a neutral vector meson fields coupled with the conserved Baryon current i Ψ γλψ is developed.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that if the phase space of general relativity is defined so as to contain the trajectories representing solutions of the equations of motion then, for asymptotically flat spaces, the Hamiltonian does not vanish but its value is given rather by a nonzero surface integral.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors generalized the Droplet Model of masses and density distributions to arbitrary shapes, and derived formulas for the corrections to the nuclear energy associated with these effects, which leads to a Droplet model atomic mass formula which is presented with a preliminary set of coefficients adjusted to nuclear ground state masses and fission barriers.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate the possibility of removing the divergences in the energy-momentum tensor by identifying divergent terms with renormalizations of the coupling constants in the gravitational field equation, modified to include a cosmological term and terms quadratic in the curvature.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, a theory of gravitation satisfying the covariance and equivalence principles is presented, which makes use of a Riemannian metric tensor gμν describing the true gravitational field, and a flat-space metric tensors γμν, describing the inertial forces.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the mechanism of production of gravitons in the empty, anisotropic, spatially inhomogeneous Gowdy three-torus cosmology is considered and the Hamiltonian methods of Arnowitt, Deser, and Misner are employed to identify the dynamical variables which are to be quantized.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the short distance behavior of the photon propagator is discussed within the context of the corresponding Callan-Symanzik equation up to the sixth order, and a mechanism of cancellations in the calculation of β(α) has been found, and proved its validity to all orders in perturbation theory.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the Brueckner formulation of the energy density formalism has been extended in order to take into account shell structure effects in the description of nuclear bulk properties, which is shown to reproduce the bulk nuclear properties accurately: binding energies and radii are in good agreement with experiments.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the problem of the phase transition in an interacting Bose system is investigated from a microscopic point of view, and the existence of certain poles in the self-energies and the polarization part is revealed, which offers a mechanism to separate the one-particle and collective spectra from each other at the transition point.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, a multichannel separable potential model with the property that the off-shell elastic scattering amplitude is generated directly from the measured elastic-channel phase shifts is explored.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, a Brans-Dicke scalar field is introduced, which yields the old theory of Weyl, when coupled to gravity, and the theory then reduces in a special gauge to Einstein's theory even in the presence of matter.
