Nuclear potentials are known to exhibit a considerable degree of scheme dependence. For one- and two-pion exchange nucleon-nucleon (NN) potentials, unitary ambiguities start showing up at the level of the leading relativistic corrections to…
The scalar-isoscalar term in the two-pion exchange $NN$ potential is abnormally large and does not respect the hierarchy of effects predicted by chiral perturbation theory. We argue that this anomaly is associated with non-perturbative…
