As the nuclear charge Z is continuously decreased an N-electron atom undergoes a binding-unbinding transition at some critical Z_c. We investigate whether the electrons remain bound when Z=Z_c and whether the radius of the system stays…

A scalar-tensor theory of gravity is formulated in which $G$ and particle masses are allowed to vary. The theory yields a globally static cosmological model with no evolutionary timescales, no cosmological coincidences, and no flatness and…

We apply recently developed effective field theory nuclear models in mean field approximation (parameter sets G1 and G2) to describe ground-state properties of nuclei from the valley of $\beta$-stability up to the drip lines. For faster…
Upper and lower bounds are derived for the ground-state energy of neutral atoms which for $Z\to\infty$ both involve the limits of exact Green's functions with one-body potentials. The limits of both bounds are shown to coincide with the…
Three models of a flat universe of coupled matter and dark energies with different low-redshift parameterizations of the dark energy equation of state are considered. The dark energy is assumed to vary with time like the trace of the…
