Abstract: (Elsevier)
Relativistic Hartree-Fock equations are solved for an infinite system of nucleons and mesons. At high densities there exists a phase transition from a Fermi “sphere” to a Fermi “shell”, characterized by a discontinuity in the heat capacity. The precise value of the critical density is sensitive to the approximations.
