TLDR
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.

Self-consistent mean-field models for nuclear structure

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the present status of self-consistent mean field (SCMF) models for describing nuclear structure and low-energy dynamics and present several extensions beyond the mean-field model which are currently used.

Microscopic models for ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions

TL;DR: In this paper, the Ultrarelativistic Quantum Molecular Dynamics (UrQMD) transport model is described in great detail, based on the same principles as QMD and RQMD, it incorporates a vastly extended collision term with full baryon-antibaryon symmetry.

Relativistic mean field theory in finite nuclei

TL;DR: In this article, the relativistic mean field theory for finite nuclei is reviewed and a field theoretical theory for pairing relations is presented and new results for realistic pairing interactions are discussed.

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.

Quantum theory of fields

Journal ArticleDOI

Relativistic quantum field theory.

TL;DR: The logical foundations of relativistic quantum field theory are described and it is indicated how the differential version transcends the correspondence principle and incorporates, on the same footing, two different kinds of quantum dyna-mical variable.
