The short-range and tensor correlations associated to realistic nucleon-nucleon interactions induce a population of high-momentum components in the many-body nuclear wave function. We study the impact of such high-momentum components on bulk observables associated to isospin asymmetric matter. The kinetic part of the symmetry energy is strongly reduced by correlations when compared to the non-interacting case. The origin of this behavior is elucidated using realistic interactions with different short-range and tensor structures.

We study the transfer of angular momentum in high energy nuclear collisions from the colliding nuclei to the region around midrapidity, using the classical approximation of the Color Glass Condensate (CGC) picture. We find that the angular momentum s
hortly after the collision (up to times ~ 1/Q_s, where Q_s is the saturation scale) is carried by the beta-type flow of the initial classical gluon field, introduced by some of us earlier. beta^i ~ mu_1 nabla^i mu_2 - mu_2 nabla^i mu_1 (i=1,2) describes the rapidity-odd transverse energy flow and emerges from Gauss Law for gluon fields. Here mu_1 and mu_2 are the averaged color charge fluctuation densities in the two nuclei, respectively. Interestingly, strong coupling calculations using AdS/CFT techniques also find an energy flow term featuring this particular combination of nuclear densities. In classical CGC the order of magnitude of the initial angular momentum per rapidity in the reaction plane, at a time 1/Q_s, is |dL_2/d eta| ~ R_A/Q_s^3 epsilon_0/2 at midrapidity, where R_A is the nuclear radius, and epsilon_0 is the average initial energy density. This result emerges as a cancellation between a vortex of energy flow in the reaction plane aligned with the total angular momentum, and energy shear flow opposed to it. We discuss in detail the process of matching classical Yang-Mills results to fluid dynamics. We will argue that dissipative corrections should not be discarded to ensure that macroscopic conservation laws, e.g. for angular momentum, hold. Viscous fluid dynamics tends to dissipate the shear flow contribution that carries angular momentum in boost-invariant fluid systems. This leads to small residual angular momentum around midrapidity at late times for collisions at high energies.
The nuclear symmetry energy represents a response to the neutron-proton asymmetry. In this survey we discuss various aspects of symmetry energy in the framework of nuclear density functional theory, considering both non-relativistic and relativistic
self-consistent mean-field realizations side-by-side. Key observables pertaining to bulk nucleonic matter and finite nuclei are reviewed. Constraints on the symmetry energy and correlations between observables and symmetry-energy parameters, using statistical covariance analysis, are investigated. Perspectives for future work are outlined in the context of ongoing experimental efforts.
The delta-shell representation of the nuclear force allows a simplified treatment of nuclear correlations. We show how this applies to the Bethe-Goldstone equation as an integral equation in coordinate space with a few mesh points, which is solved by
inversion of a 5-dimensional square matrix in the single channel cases and a $10times10$ matrix for the tensor-coupled channels. This allows us to readily obtain the high momentum distribution, for all partial waves, of a back-to-back correlated nucleon pair in nuclear matter. We find that the probability of finding a high-momentum correlated neutron-proton pair is about 18 times that of a proton-proton one, as a result of the strong tensor force, thus confirming in an independent way previous results and measurements.
In the framework of the relativistic mean field model with Thomas-Fermi approximation, we study the structures of low density nuclear matter in a three-dimensional geometry with reflection symmetry. The numerical accuracy and efficiency are improved
by expanding the mean fields according to fast cosine transformation and considering only one octant of the unit cell. The effect of finite cell size is treated carefully by searching for the optimum cell size. Typical pasta structures (droplet, rod, slab, tube, and bubble) arranged in various crystalline configurations are obtained for both fixed proton fractions and $beta$-equilibration. It is found that the properties of droplets/bubbles are similar in body-centered cubic (BCC) and face-centered cubic (FCC) lattices, where the FCC lattice generally becomes more stable than BCC lattice as density increases. For the rod/tube phases, the honeycomb lattice is always more stable than the simple one. By introducing an $omega$-$rho$ cross coupling term, we further examine the pasta structures with a smaller slope of symmetry energy $L = 41.34$ MeV, which predicts larger onset densities for core-crust transition and non-spherical nuclei. Such a variation due to the reduction of $L$ is expected to have impacts on various properties in neutron stars, supernova dynamics, and binary neutron star mergers.
High-momentum components of nuclei are essential for understanding the underlying inter-nucleon correlations in nuclei. We perform the comprehensive analysis for the origin of the high-momentum components of $^4$He in the framework of Tensor-optimize
d High-momentum Antisymmetrized Molecular Dynamics (TO-HMAMD), which is a completely variational approach as an $ab$ $initio$ theory starting from the bare nucleon-nucleon ($NN$) interaction. The analytical derivations are provided for the nucleon momentum distribution of the Antisymmetrized Momentum Dynamics (AMD) wave functions, with subtraction of center-of-mass motion. The nucleon momentum distribution for $^4$He is calculated by applying a new expansion technique to our $ab$ $initio$ wave function, and agrees with the values extracted from experimental data up to the high-momentum region. Fine-grained analysis is performed for the high-momentum components in $^4$He with respect to different nucleon correlations. Contributions from tensor, central with short-range, and many-body correlations are extracted from the nucleon momentum distributions. The manifestation of tensor correlation around 2 fm$^{-1}$ region is explicitly confirmed by comparing the momentum distributions predicted using different types of $NN$ interactions with and without the tensor force.
