Faddeev calculations of hypertriton ($_\Lambda^3$H) separation energy are performed, incorporating all next-to-next-to-leading-order $\Lambda$NN three-body forces (3BFs) in chiral effective field theory: $2\pi$-exchange, $1\pi$-exchange,…
Recent successes in {\it ab initio} calculations of light nuclei (A=2-6) will be reviewed and correlated with the dynamical consequences of chiral symmetry. The tractability of nuclear physics evinced by these results is evidence for that…
The need for the three-body forces (3BF) for reproduction of physical properties of light nuclei has been evident for some time. These 3BF are doing quite well for light nuclei, but there seems to be scope for other 3BF which may arise from…
We present the first ab initio calculations for p-shell single-Lambda hypernuclei. For the solution of the many-baryon problem, we develop two variants of the no-core shell model with explicit $\Lambda$ and $\Sigma^+$, $\Sigma^0$,…
We calculate the structure of three-body hypernuclei with $S=-1$ using pionless effective field theory at leading order in the isospin $I=0$ and $I=1$ sectors. In both sectors, three-body hypernuclei arise naturally from the Efimov effect…
