Description
The exchange part of energy density of the linear Dirac-Hartree-Fock (DHF) model in dense matter is evaluated in a parameter-free closed form and expressed as density functional. After the rearranging terms the relativistic mean-field approach with density-dependent couplings may be recovered with density dependence coming from the Fock interaction. The formalism developed, is then extended to the nonlinear DHF approximation with field self-couplings allowed. The nonlinear self-interactions result in essential density dependence of effective couplings that is decoupled from the Fock one. Finally, the model is applied to investigate the properties of dense stellar matter.
