Abstract

We investigate homogeneous nuclear matter within the Brueckner-Hartree-Fock (BHF) approach in the limits of isospin-symmetric nuclear matter (SNM) as well as pure neutron matter at zero temperature. The study is based on realistic representations of the internucleon interaction as given by Argonne v18, Paris, Nijmegen I and II potentials, in addition to chiral N3^{3}LO interactions, including three-nucleon forces up to N2^{2}LO. Particular attention is paid to the presence of di-nucleon bound states structures in 1S0^1\textrm{S}_0 and 3SD1^3\textrm{SD}_1 channels, whose explicit account becomes crucial for the stability of self-consistent solutions at low densities. A characterization of these solutions and associated bound states is discussed. We confirm that coexisting BHF single-particle solutions in SNM, at Fermi momenta in the range 0.130.30.13-0.3~fm1^{-1}, is a robust feature under the choice of realistic internucleon potentials.
