We extend the self-consistent Greens functions formalism to take into account three-body interactions. We analyze the perturbative expansion in terms of Feynman diagrams and define effective one- and two-body interactions, which allows for a substantial reduction of the number of diagrams. The procedure can be taken as a generalization of the normal ordering of the Hamiltonian to fully correlated density matrices. We give examples up to third order in perturbation theory. To define nonperturbative approximations, we extend the equation of motion method in the presence of three-body interactions. We propose schemes that can provide nonperturbative resummation of three-body interactions. We also discuss two different extensions of the Koltun sum rule to compute the ground state of a many-body system.

The present thesis aims at studying the properties of symmetric nuclear and pure neutron matter from a Greens functions point of view, including two-body and three-body chiral forces. An extended self-consistent Greens function formalism is defined to consistently incorporate three-body forces in the many-body calculations. The effect of three-nucleon interactions is included via the construction of a dressed two-body density dependent force. This is obtained performing an average of the leading order three-body terms in the chiral effective field theory expansion. The dressed force corresponds to the use of an in-medium propagator in the average which takes into account the correlations characterizing the system at each stage of the many-body calculation. The total energy of the system is obtained by means of a modified Galitskii-Migdal-Koltun sumrule to correctly account for the effect of three-body forces. Microscopic as well as macroscopic properties of symmetric nuclear and pure neutron matter are analyzed in detailed.
Microscopic calculations of the electromagnetic response of medium-mass nuclei are now feasible thanks to the availability of realistic nuclear interactions with accurate saturation and spectroscopic properties, and the development of large-scale computing methods for many-body physics. The purpose is to compute isovector dipole electromagnetic (E1) response and related quantities, i.e. integrated dipole cross section and polarizability, and compare with data from photoabsorption and Coulomb excitation experiments. The single-particle propagator is obtained by solving the Dyson equation, where the self-energy includes correlations non-perturbatively through the Algebraic Diagrammatic Construction (ADC) method. The particle-hole ($ph$) polarization propagator is treated in the Dressed Random Phase Approximation (DRPA), based on an effective correlated propagator that includes some $2p2h$ effects but keeps the same computation scaling as the standard Hartree-Fock propagator. The E1 responses for $^{14,16,22,24}$O, $^{36,40,48,52,54,70}$Ca and $^{68}$Ni have been computed: the presence of a soft dipole mode of excitation for neutron-rich nuclei is found, and there is a fair reproduction of the low-energy part of the experimental excitation spectrum. This is reflected in a good agreement with the empirical dipole polarizability values. For a realistic interaction with an accurate reproduction of masses and radii up to medium-mass nuclei, the Self-Consistent Greens Function method provides a good description of the E1 response, especially in the part of the excitation spectrum below the Giant Dipole Resonance. The dipole polarizability is largely independent from the strategy of mapping the dressed propagator to a simplified one that is computationally manageable
Self-consistent Greens function theory has recently been extended to the basic formalism needed to account for three-body interactions [A. Carbone, A. Cipollone, C. Barbieri, A. Rios, and A. Polls, (Phys. Rev. C 88, 054326 (2013))]. The contribution of three-nucleon forces has so far been included in ab initio calculations on nuclear matter and finite nuclei only as averaged two-nucleon forces. We derive the working equations for all possible two- and three-nucleon terms that enter the expansion of the self-energy up to the third order, thus including the interaction-irreducible (i.e., not averaged) diagrams with three-nucleon forces that have been previously neglected. We employ the algebraic diagrammatic construction up to the third order as an organization scheme for generating a non perturbative self-energy, in which ring (particle-hole) and ladder (particle-particle) diagrams are resummed to all orders. We derive expressions of the static and dynamic self-energy up to the third order, by taking into account the set of diagrams required when either the skeleton or nonskeleton expansions of the single-particle propagator are assumed. A hierarchy of importance among different diagrams is revealed, and a particular emphasis is given to a third-order diagram (see Fig. 2c) that is expected to play a significant role among those featuring an interaction-irreducible three-nucleon force. A consistent formalism to resum at infinite order correlations induced by three-nucleon forces in the self-consistent Greens function theory is now available and ready to be implemented in the many-body solvers.
We present calculations for symmetric nuclear matter using chiral nuclear interactions within the Self-Consistent Greens Functions approach in the ladder approximation. Three-body forces are included via effective one-body and two-body interactions, computed from an uncorrelated average over a third particle. We discuss the effect of the three-body forces on the total energy, computed with an extended Galitskii-Migdal-Koltun sum-rule, as well as on single-particle properties. Saturation properties are substantially improved when three-body forces are included, but there is still some underlying dependence on the SRG evolution scale.
A systematic study of the microscopic and thermodynamical properties of pure neutron matter at finite temperature within the Self-Consistent Greens Function approach is performed. The model dependence of these results is analyzed by both comparing the results obtained with two different microscopic interactions, the CD-BONN and the Argonne V18 potentials, and by analyzing the results obtained with other approaches, such as the Brueckner--Hartree--Fock approximation, the variational approach and the virial expansion.
