The first-order relativistic corrections to the non-relativistic energies of hydrogen-like atom embedded in plasma screening environments are calculated in the framework of direct perturbation theory by using the generalized pseudospectral method. The standard Debye-Hückel potential, exponential cosine screened Coulomb potential, and Hulthén potential are employed to model different screening conditions and their effects on the eigenenergies of hydrogen-like atoms are investigated. The relativistic corrections which include the relativistic mass correction, Darwin term, and the spin-orbit coupling term for both the ground and excited states are reported as functions of screening parameters. Comparison with previous theoretical predictions shows that both the relativistic mass correction and spin-orbit coupling obtained in this work are in good agreement with previous estimations, while significant discrepancy and even opposite trend is found for the Darwin term. The overall relativistic-corrected system energies predicted in this work, however, are in good agreement with the fully relativistic calculations available in the literature. We finally present the scaling law of the first-order relativistic corrections and discuss the validity of the direct perturbation theory with respect to both the nuclear charge and the screening parameter.

The energies of the high-lying multi-excited states 1s22s2pnl and 1s22p2nl 4Pe,o (n ≥ 2) for B-like C+, N2+, F4+, and Mg7+ ions are calculated using Rayleigh–Ritz variation method with multiconfiguration interaction, and the inclusion of mass polarization and relativistic corrections. The fine structure and hyperfine structure for these systems are investigated using first-order perturbation theory. The configuration structure of the high-lying multi-excited series is identified not only by energy, but also by its contribution to normalization of the angular spin components, and it is further tested by the addition of relativistic corrections and fine structure splittings. Transition wavelengths including the quantum electrodynamic effects and higher-order relativistic corrections are determined.

Effective Description

Abstract We describe a new perturbation theory for General Relativity, with the chiral first-order Einstein-Cartan action as the starting point. Our main result is a new gauge-fixing procedure that eliminates the connection-to-connection propagator. All other known first-order formalisms have this propagator non-zero, which significantly increases the combinatorial complexity of any perturbative calculation. In contrast, in the absence of the connection-to-connection propagator, our formalism leads to an effective description in which only the metric (or tetrad) propagates, there are only cubic and quartic vertices, but some vertex legs are special in that they cannot be connected by the propagator. The new formalism is the gravity analog of the well-known and powerful chiral description of Yang-Mills theory.
