Abstract
Recent applications of relativistic mean field theory for finite nuclei are reviewed. We discuss the description of ground states of nuclei and their properties like nuclear radii as well as deformation parameters and their energy surfaces. In particular we concentrate on the description of exotic nuclei far from the line of beta-stability. A field theoretical theory for pairingcorrelations is presented and new results for realistic pairing interactions are discussed. High-spin states and superdeformed bands are investigated within the framework of a relativistic extension of the cranking theory. Finally we review applications of time-dependent relativistic mean field theory for the description of oscillations with small amplitudes as well as large amplitude collective motion in connection with relativistic Coulomb excitations.
