Abstract

From the subsubleading chiral three-nucleon force [intermediate-range contributions, published in Phys. Rev. C\,87, 054007 (2013)] a density-dependent NN-interaction VmedV_\text{med} is derived in isospin-symmetric nuclear matter. Following the division of the pertinent 3N-diagrams into two-pion-one-pion exchange topology and ring topology, one evaluates for these all selfclosings and concatenations of nucleon-lines to an in-medium loop. In the case of the 2π1π2\pi 1\pi-exchange topology, 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 require at most one numerical integration. For the more challenging (concatenations of the) ring diagrams proportional to c1,2,3,4c_{1,2,3,4}, one ends up with regularized double-integrals 0λdrr0π/2dψ\int_0^\lambda dr\,r \int_0^{\pi/2} d\psi from which the λ2\lambda^2-divergence has been subtracted and the logarithmic piece ln(mπ/λ)\sim \ln (m_\pi/\lambda) is isolated. The derived semi-analytical results are most helpful to implement the subsubleading chiral 3N-forces into nuclear many-body calculations.
