General Relativistic Mean Field Theory for Rotating Nuclei

Abstract

We formulate a general relativistic mean field theory for rotating nuclei starting from the special relativistic $\sigma -\omega$ model Lagrangian. The tetrad formalism is adopted to generalize the model to the accelerated frame.

Comments: 13 pages, REVTeX, no figures, submitted to Phys. Rev. Lett., the word `curved' is replaced by `non-inertial' or `accelerated' in several places to clarify the physical situation interested, some references are added, more detail discussions are given with omitting some redundant sentences
