Nuclear Matter Properties in Derivative Coupling Models Beyond Mean - Field Approximation
The structure of infinite nuclear matter is studied with two of the Zimanyi -
Moszkowski (ZM) models in the framework of a relativistic approximation which
takes into account Hartree terms and beyond and is compared with the results
which come out of the relativistic Hartree - Fock approach in the linear
Walecka model. The simple treatment applied to these models can be used in
substitution to the more complicated Dirac - Brueckner - Hartree - Fock method
to perform future calculations in finite nuclei.Comment: 11 pages including 1 table, 1 figure (available upon request
Four-boson scale near a Feshbach resonance
We show that an independent four-body momentum scale drives the
tetramer binding energy for fixed trimer energy (or three-body scale
) and large scattering length (). The three- and four-body forces
from the one-channel reduction of the atomic interaction near a Feshbach
resonance disentangle and . The four-body independent
scale is also manifested through a family of Tjon-lines, with slope given by
for . There is the possibility of a new
renormalization group limit cycle due to the new scale
Field theory of scaling lattice models. The Potts antiferromagnet
In contrast to what happens for ferromagnets, the lattice structure
participates in a crucial way to determine existence and type of critical
behaviour in antiferromagnetic systems. It is an interesting question to
investigate how the memory of the lattice survives in the field theory
describing a scaling antiferromagnet. We discuss this issue for the square
lattice three-state Potts model, whose scaling limit as T->0 is argued to be
described exactly by the sine-Gordon field theory at a specific value of the
coupling. The solution of the scaling ferromagnetic case is recalled for
comparison. The field theory describing the crossover from antiferromagnetic to
ferromagnetic behaviour is also introduced.Comment: 11 pages, to appear in the proceedings of the NATO Advanced Research
