The interplay between quadrupole and octupole degrees of freedom is discussed in a series of neutron-rich actinides and superheavy nuclei with $92 \le$ Z $\le 110$ and $186 \le$ N $\le 202$. In addition to the static Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov…
A nonperturbative field theoretic calculation has been made for the $s$-shell hypernuclei. Here we dress the $\Lambda$- and $\Sigma$- hypernuclei with off-mass shell pion pairs. The analysis replaces the scalar isoscalar potential by…
We consider a system of $N\gg 1$ interacting fermionic particles in three dimensions, confined in a periodic box of volume $1$, in the mean-field scaling. We assume that the interaction potential is bounded and small enough. We prove upper…

A method for beyond-mean-field calculations based on an energy density functional is described. The main idea is to map the energy surface for the nuclear quadrupole deformation, obtained from an energy density functional at the mean-field…

A problem with the standard Skyrme model is that Skyrmion binding energies are around $15\%$, being much larger than the order $1\%$ binding energies of the nuclei that they aim to describe. Here we consider theories that extend the…
