Abstract

This review gives an overview of effective field theory (EFT) as applied at finite density, with a focus on nuclear many-body systems. Uniform systems with short-range interactions illustrate the ingredients and virtues of many-body EFT; we also survey the varied frontiers of EFT for finite nuclei and nuclear matter.

Keyword(s): chiral symmetry, many-body physics, nuclear matter
