The convergence of no-core shell model (NCSM) calculations using renormalization group evolved low-momentum two-nucleon interactions is studied for light nuclei up to Li-7. Because no additional transformation was used in applying the NCSM…
Short-range correlations in 4He are investigated using many-body wave functions obtained in the no-core shell model. The similarity renormalization group (SRG) is used to evolve the Argonne V8' interaction and the density operators. The…

Modern effective-theory techniques are applied to the nuclear many-body problem. A novel approach is proposed for the renormalization of operators in a manner consistent with the construction of the effective potential. To test this…
Solutions to the nuclear many-body problem rely on effective interactions, and in general effective operators, to take into account effects not included in calculations. These include effects due to the truncation to finite model spaces…
We perform \textit{ab initio} no-core shell-model calculations for $A=18$ and $19$ nuclei in a $4\hbar\Omega$, or $N_{\rm max}=4$, model space by using the effective JISP16 and chiral N3LO nucleon-nucleon potentials and transform the…
The no-core shell model and the effective interaction $V_{{\rm low} k}$ can both be derived using the Lee-Suzuki projection operator formalism. The main difference between the two is the choice of basis states that define the model space.…
There has been significant recent progress in solving the long-standing problems of how nuclear shell structure and collective motion emerge from underlying microscopic inter-nucleon interactions. We review a selection of recent significant…
