The Coester Line in Relativistic Mean Field Nuclear Matter

The Walecka model contains essentially two parameters that are associated with the Lorentz scalar (S) and vector (V) interactions. These parameters are related to a two-body interaction consisting of S and V, imposing the condition that the two-body binding energy is fixed. We have obtained a set of different values for the nuclear matter binding energies at equilibrium densities. We investigated the existence of a linear correlation between $B_N$ and $ρ_0$, claimed to be universal for nonrelativistic systems and usually known as the Coester line, and found an approximate linear correlation only if $V?S$ remains constant. It is shown that the relativistic content of the model, which is related to the strength of $V?S$, is responsible for the shift of the Coester line to the empirical region of nuclear matter saturation.

Fixed-Point Hamiltonians in Quantum Mechanics

We show how to derive fixed-point Hamiltonians in quantum mechanics from a proposed renormalization group invariance approach that relies in a subtraction procedure at a given energy scale. The scheme is valid for arbitrary interactions that originally contain point-like singularities (as the Dirac-delta and/or its derivatives). One example of diagonalization of a fixed-point Hamiltonian illustrates the procedure for an interaction that contains regular and singular parts. In another example, the fixed point Hamiltonian is derived for the case of higher order singularities in the interaction.

On the q-deformation of the NJL model

Using a q-deformed fermionic algebra we perform explicitly a deformation of the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) Hamiltonian. In the Bogoliubov-Valatin approach we obtain the deformed version of the functional for the total energy, which is minimized to obtain the corresponding gap equation. The breaking of chiral symmetry and its restoration in the limit $q \to 0$ are then discussed.

Renormalization of the one-pion-exchange interaction

A renormalization scheme for the nucleon-nucleon (NN) interaction based on a subtracted T-matrix equation is proposed and applied to the one-pion-exchange potential supplemented by contact interactions. The singlet and triplet scattering lengths are given to fix the renormalized strengths of the contact interactions. With only one scaling parameter ($μ$), the results show an overall very good agreement with neutron-proton data, particularly for the observables related to the triplet channel. The agreement is qualitative in the $^1S_0$ channel. Between the low-energy NN observables we have examined, the mixing parameter of the $^3S_1-^3D_1$ states is the most sensible to the scale. The scheme is renormalization group invariant for $μ\to\infty$.

Effect of q-deformation in the NJL gap equation

We obtain a q-deformed algebra version of the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model gap equation. In this framework we discuss some hadronic properties such as the dynamical mass generated for the quarks, the pion decay constant and the phase transition present in this model.
