Open problems in nuclear structure near drip lines

Published 2010-01-27Version 1

Physics related to weakly bound nuclei and low-density asymmetric nuclear matter is discussed from a theoretical point of view. Especially, we focus our discussion on new correlations in nuclei near the drip lines and on open issues of the density functional theory with a proper account of the continuum.
