Abstract
A light-front treatment for spherical nuclei is developed from a relativist ic effective Lagrangian and employing the mean field approximation. Minimiz ing the nuclear minus momentum subject to the constraint that, in the rest frame, the expectation values of the plus and minus moments are the same le ads to a formalism in which rotational invariance is recovered.
