Effective Field Theory in Nuclear Many-Body Physics
Brian D. Serot (Indiana)🇺🇸 · John Dirk Walecka (William and Mary)🇺🇸
Abstract
Recent progress in Lorentz-covariant quantum field theories of the nuclear many-body problem (quantum hadrodynamics, or QHD) is discussed. The importance of modern perspectives in effective field theory and density functional theory for understanding the successes of QHD is emphasized. To appear in: 150 Years of Quantum Many-Body Theory: A conference in honour of the 65th birthdays of John W. Clark, Alpo J. Kallio, Manfred L. Ristig, and Sergio Rosati.
