In Coupled-Cluster (CC) theory, unphysical complex energies may arise in the presence of strong magnetic fields, near conical intersections, or in systems exhibiting complex Abelian point group symmetries. This issue originates from the…

We first define a series of NN interaction models ranging from very simple to fully realistic. We then present Green's function Monte Carlo calculations of light nuclei to show how nuclear spectra evolve as the nuclear forces are made…
We consider three dimensional conformal field theories that have a higher spin symmetry that is slightly broken. The theories have a large N limit, in the sense that the operators separate into single trace and multitrace and obey the usual…
