Optimized delta expansion for relativistic nuclear models

Nuclear Theory 2009-10-30 v1

Abstract

The optimized δ\delta-expansion is a nonperturbative approach for field theoretic models which combines the techniques of perturbation theory and the variational principle. This technique is discussed in the λϕ4\lambda \phi^4 model and then implemented in the Walecka model for the equation of state of nuclear matter. The results obtained with the δ\delta expansion are compared with those obtained with the traditional mean field, relativistic Hartree and Hartree-Fock approximations.
