Nucleon QCD sum rules in nuclear matter including four-quark condensates

TL;DR: In this paper, the nucleon parameters in nuclear matter were calculated using the QCD sum rules approach in gas approximation, and the results for these parameters at the saturation value of the density were obtained by the methods of nuclear physics.

Nonextensive effects on the phase structure of quantum hadrodynamics

TL;DR: In this paper, nonextensive effects on phase transition in nuclear matter in the context of Walecka many-body field theory were investigated, and a difference was observed when the results calculated for the nuclear matter at vanishing baryon density is compared to those obtained through the standard Fermi-Dirac distribution.

On Continued Gravitational Contraction

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors study the solutions of the gravitational field equations which describe the contraction of a heavy star, and give general and qualitative arguments on the behavior of the metrical tensor as the contraction progresses.
