Abstract
The relevance of exchange effects for the stability of superheavy nuclei is examined within a linear QHD-II model by comparing Hartree-Fock with meanfield results. To allow a scan of the complete superheavy regime the recently developed local density approximation (LDA) for the exchange potential is employed for the Hartree-Fock level calculations. It turns out that, while many nuclear properties obtained with the LDA approach differ significantly from the corresponding mean-field results, the predictions of the two methods for shell closures are very similar. Furthermore, a comparison with a nonlinear variant of QHD-II shows that many nuclear properties obtained with the LDA in the framework of linear QHD-II are somewhere in-between the corresponding linear and nonlinear mean-field results. This indicates that the LDA exchange partially includes nonlinear contributions, which supports the interpretation of the meson self-coupling as a parametrization of many-body effects.

Unfortunately, this inversion leads to numerical difficulties in the asymptotic regime with its exponentially decaying densities. To deal with this problem one resorts to a perturbative evaluation ofe INM x (ρ p , ρ n , ρ s ), in which the difference between ρ s and\(\tilde \rho _s \) is taken into account to first order,\(e_x^{INM} (\rho _s ) \approx \tilde e_x^{INM} (M^* ) + \frac{{d\tilde e_x^{INM} }}{{dM^* }}(M^* )\left( {\frac{{d\tilde \rho _s }}{{dM^* }}(M^* )} \right)^{ - 1} (\rho _s - \tilde \rho _s )\) withM * (x) taken from (14) (for fixed ρ p and ρ n , which are here suppressed for brevity).
