Ring %J Physics %D 1999 %I arXiv %R 10.1238/Physica.Topical.088a00010 %X The applications of the extensions of relativistic mean field (RMF) theory to the rotating frame, such as cranked relativistic mean field (CRMF) theory and cranked relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov (CRHB) theory, for the description of superdeformed bands in the $A\sim 60$, 140-150 and 190 mass regions are overviewed and compared briefly with the results obtained in non-relativistic mean field theories. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/nucl-th/9909020v1
