We extend a recent billiard model of the nuclear N-body Hamiltonian to consider a finite two-body interaction. This permits a treatment of the Hamiltonian by a mean field theory, and also allows the possibility to model reactions between…

We review recent progress and a number of future directions for applications of effective field theory methods to condensed matter systems broadly defined. Our emphasis is on areas that have allowed a fertile exchange of ideas between high…
The present article is based on a previous one, where a second quantized field theory on the world sheet for summing the planar graphs of phi^3 theory was developed. In this earlier work, the ground state of the model was determined using a…
We describe and implement a procedure for determining the couplings of a Relativistic Mean-Field Theory (RMFT) that is optimized for application to neutron star phenomenology. In the standard RMFT approach, the couplings are constrained by…
Starting from successful self-consistent mean-field models, this paper discusses why and how to go beyond the mean field approximation. To include long-range correlations from fluctuations in collective degrees of freedom, one has to…
We study the random-field Ising model with long-range interactions and show the exactness of the mean-field theory under certain mild conditions. This is a generalization of the result of Mori for the non-random and spin-glass cases. To…
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.
I summarize the motivation for the effective field theory approach to nuclear physics, and highlight some of its recent accomplishments. The results are compared with those computed in potential models.
