Three-dimensional mesh calculations for covariant density functional theory

Nuclear Theory 2015-07-03 v1

Abstract

In contrast to the non-relativistic approaches, three-dimensional (3D) mesh calculations for the {\it relativistic} density functional theory have not been realized because of the challenges of variational collapse and fermion doubling. We overcome these difficulties by developing a novel method based on the ideas of Wilson fermion as well as the variational principle for the inverse Hamiltonian. We demonstrate the applicability of this method by applying it to 16^{16}O, 24^{24}Mg, and 28^{28}Si nuclei, providing detailed explanation on the formalism and verification of numerical implementation.
