Restoration of pseudo-spin symmetry (PSS) along the $N=32$ and $34$ isotonic chains and the physics behind are studied by applying the relativistic Hartree-Fock theory with effective Lagrangian PKA1. Taking the proton pseudo-spin partners $(pi2s_{1/2},pi1d_{3/2})$ as candidates, systematic restoration of PSS along both isotonic chains is found from sulphur (S) to nickel (Ni), while distinct violation from silicon (Si) to sulphur is discovered near the drip lines. The effects of the tensor-force components introduced naturally by the Fock terms are investigated, which can only partly interpret the systematics from calcium to nickel, but fail for the overall trends. Further analysis following the Schr{o}dinger-like equation of the lower component of Dirac spinor shows that the contributions from the Hartree terms dominate the overall systematics of the PSS restoration, and such effects can be self-consistently interpreted by the evolution of the proton central density profiles along both isotonic chains. Specifically the distinct PSS violation is found to tightly relate with the dramatic changes from the bubble-like density profiles in silicon to the central-bumped ones in sulphur.

On the way of a microscopic derivation of covariant density functionals, the first complete solution of the relativistic Brueckner-Hartree-Fock (RBHF) equations is presented for symmetric nuclear matter. In most of the earlier investigations, the $G$-matrix is calculated only in the space of positive energy solutions. On the other side, for the solution of the relativistic Hartree-Fock (RHF) equations, also the elements of this matrix connecting positive and negative energy solutions are required. So far, in the literature, these matrix elements are derived in various approximations. We discuss solutions of the Thompson equation for the full Dirac space and compare the resulting equation of state with those of earlier attempts in this direction.
The hypernuclear matter is studied within the relativistic Hartree-Fock theory employing several parametrizations of the hypernuclear density functional with density-dependent couplings. The equations of state and compositions of hypernuclear matter are determined for each parametrization and compact stars are constructed by solving their structure equations in spherical symmetry. We quantify the softening effect of Fock terms on the equation of state, as well as discuss the impact of tensor interactions, which are absent in the Hartree theories. Starting from models of density functionals which are fixed in the nuclear sector to the nuclear phenomenology, we vary the couplings in the hyperonic sector around the central values which are fitted to the hyperon potentials in nuclear matter. We use the SU(6) spin-flavor and SU(3) flavor symmetric quark models to relate the hyperonic couplings to the nucleonic ones. We find, consistent with previous Hartree studies, that for the SU(6) model the maximal masses of compact stars are below the two-solar mass limit. In the SU(3) model we find sufficiently massive compact stars with cores composed predominantly of $Lambda$ and $Xi$ hyperons and a low fraction of leptons (mostly electrons). The parameter space of the SU(3) model is identified where simultaneously hypernuclear compact stars obey the astrophysical limits on pulsar masses and the empirical hypernuclear potentials in nuclear matter are reproduced.
Tensor force is identified in each meson-nucleon coupling in the relativistic Hartree-Fock theory. It is found that all the meson-nucleon couplings, except the $sigma$-scalar one, give rise to the tensor force. The effects of tensor force on various nuclear properties can now be investigated quantitatively, which allows fair and direct comparisons with the corresponding results in the non-relativistic framework. The tensor effects on nuclear binding energies and the evolutions of the $Z,,N = 8,,20$, and $28$ magic gaps are studied. The tensor contributions to the binding energies are shown to be tiny in general. The $Z,,N = 8$ and $20$ gaps are sensitive to the tensor force, but the $Z,,N = 28$ gaps are not.
A new relativistic Hartree-Fock approach with density-dependent $sigma$, $omega$, $rho$ and $pi$ meson-nucleon couplings for finite nuclei and nuclear matter is presented. Good description for finite nuclei and nuclear matter is achieved with a number of adjustable parameters comparable to that of the relativistic mean field approach. With the Fock terms, the contribution of the $pi$-meson is included and the description for the nucleon effective mass and its isospin and energy dependence is improved.
Inspired by recent experiments, the successive new magicity $N = 32$ and $34$ in Ca isotopes are studied within the relativistic density functional theory. It is illustrated that the strong couplings between the $s_{1/2}$ and neutron ($ u$) $ u2p_{1/2}$ orbits, here referred as Dirac inversion partners (DIPs), play a key role in opening both subshells $N = 32$ and $34$. Such strong couplings originate from the inversion similarity between the DIPs, that the upper component of the Dirac spinor of one partner shares the same orbital angular momentum as the lower component of the other, and vice versa. Following the revealed mechanism, it is predicted that the magicity $N = 32$ is reserved until $^{48}$S, but vanishes in $^{46}$Si.
