Density-dependent NN-interaction from subleading chiral 3N-forces: Long-range terms

Nuclear Theory 2021-04-09 v2

Abstract

We derive from the subleading contributions to the chiral three-nucleon force (long-range terms, published in Phys.\,Rev.\,C\,77, 064004 (2008)) a density-dependent two-nucleon interaction VmedV_\text{med} in isospin-symmetric, spin-saturated nuclear matter. Following the division of the pertinent 3N-diagrams into two-pion exchange topology, two-pion-one-pion exchange topology and ring topology, we evaluate for these all self-closings and concatenations of nucleon-lines to an in-medium loop. The momentum and kfk_f-dependent potentials associated with the isospin operators (11 and τ1 ⁣ ⁣τ2\vec\tau_1\!\cdot\!\vec\tau_2) and five independent spin-structures are expressed in terms of functions, which are either given in closed analytical form or require at most one numerical integration. In the same way we treat the 2π2\pi-exchange 3N-force up to fourth order. Our results for VmedV_\text{med} are most helpful to implement the long-range subleading chiral 3N-forces into nuclear many-body calculations.
