Abstract

We calculate in (two-loop) chiral perturbation theory the local NN-potentials generated by certain classes of three-pion exchange diagrams. We stress that the chiral 3πNN3\pi NN-contact vertex depends on the particular choice of the interpolating pion-field and therefore one has to consider representation invariant classes of diagrams by supplementing graphs involving the chiral 4π4\pi-vertex. We find that the resulting isovector spin-spin and tensor NN-potentials are negligibly small for r0.8r\geq 0.8 fm. One can conclude that the effects of uncorrelated chiral 3π3\pi-exchange in the NN-interaction are very small and therefore of no practical relevance.
