The existence of a liquid-gas phase transition for hot nuclear systems at subsaturation densities is a well established prediction of finite temperature nuclear many-body theory. In this paper, we discuss for the first time the properties…
We compute singlet pairing gaps and critical temperatures in pure neutron matter with different many-body approximations. Medium effects tend to reduce gaps and critical temperatures compared to the standard BCS ansatz. In the mean-field…
Hypernuclei are bound states of neutrons, protons and one or two hyperons, thus extending the nuclear landscape to a third dimension. They also encode information about the baryon-baryon and three-baryon interactions. Here, we review recent…
A new method unifying many and few-body aspects of nuclear structure has recently been introduced \cite{hov18}. This method combines the many-body description of a core and the few-body structure of this core surrounded by two valence…

Three-body forces acting on a $\Lambda$ hyperon in a nuclear medium are investigated, with special focus on the so-called hyperon puzzle in neutron stars. The hyperon-nucleon two-body interaction deduced from SU(3) chiral effective field…
Neutrino-matter cross sections and interaction rates are central to the core-collapse supernova phenomenon and, very likely, to the viability of the explosion mechanism itself. In this paper, we describe the major neutrino scattering,…
Correlation effects in nuclear matter at finite temperatures are studied for subnuclear densities ($\rho<\rho_0$) and medium excitation energy, where a nonrelativistic potential approach is possible. A quantum statistical approach is given,…

Simple generic aspects of nuclear pairing in homogeneous medium as well as in finite nuclei are discussed. It is argued that low-energy nuclear structure is not sensitive enough to resolve fine details of nuclear nucleon-nucleon (NN)…
