The large nucleon-nucleon scattering length, and the isospin approximate symmetry, are low energy properties of quantum chromodynamics (QCD). These entail correlations in the binding energies of light nuclei, e.g., the A=3 iso-multiplet,…

Variational calculations of the deuteron and the triton illustrate that simple wave function ans\"atze become more effective after evolving the nucleon-nucleon potential to lower momentum (``$V_{low k}$''). This is consistent with many-body…
We discuss the problem of consistency of quantum mechanics as applied to low energy nucleon dynamics with the symmetries of QCD. It is shown that the dynamics consistent with these symmetries is not governed by the Schrodinger equation. We…

Low energy nucleon dynamics in the effective field theory (EFT) of nuclear forces is investigated by using the formalism of the generalized quantum dynamics (GQD). This formalism is based on a generalized dynamical equation derived as the…
