Abstract
Relativistic effects in nuclear physics are discussed. Very important effects stem from the lowering of the nucleon effective mass m* by the attractive scalar mean field. Spontaneous symmetry breaking by this field in the vacuum was originally responsible for the nucleon mass.Implications implied by the quark/gluon phase transition for this scalar mean field is discussed.
