Funny Hills: The Shell-Correction Approach to Nuclear Shell Effects and Its Applications to the Fission Process

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed various results related to the single-particle structure in spherical and deformed nuclei, discussed from the viewpoint of the so-called shell-correction method.

Heat kernel expansion: user's manual

TL;DR: The heat kernel expansion is a very convenient tool for studying one-loop divergences, anomalies and various asymptotics of the effective action as discussed by the authors, and the heat kernel coefficients are given in terms of several geometric invariants.

The Schrödinger functional — a renormalizable probe for non-abelian gauge theories

TL;DR: In this paper, the Schrodinger functional in lattice gauge theories without matter fields has a well-defined continuum limit and can be used to study the scaling properties of the theory and in particular the evolution of the renormalized gauge coupling.

Nuclear masses and deformations

TL;DR: In this article, a semi-empirical theory of nuclear masses and deformations is presented, where the potential energy of a nucleus, considered as a function of N, Z and the nuclear shape, is given by the liquid-drop model, modified by a shell correction.

On hearing the shape of a drum

TL;DR: In this paper, the shape of a vibrating membrane given all its characteristic frequencies is discussed using a regular array of interacting atoms as a discrete model of a membrane in contrast to the continuum model analyzed recently by Kac.
