The nuclear symmetry energy is a key quantity in nuclear (astro)physics. It describes the isospin dependence of the nuclear equation of state (EOS), which is commonly assumed to be almost quadratic. In this work, we confront this standard quadratic expansion of the EOS with explicit asymmetric nuclear-matter calculations based on a set of commonly used Hamiltonians including two- and three-nucleon forces derived from chiral effective field theory. We study, in particular, the importance of non-quadratic contributions to the symmetry energy, including the non-analytic logarithmic term introduced by Kaiser [Phys.~Rev.~C textbf{91}, 065201 (2015)]. Our results suggest that the quartic contribution to the symmetry energy can be robustly determined from the various Hamiltonians employed, and we obtain 1.00(8) MeV (or 0.55(8) MeV for the potential part) at saturation density, while the logarithmic contribution to the symmetry energy is relatively small and model-dependent. We finally employ the meta-model approach to study the impact of the higher-order contributions on the neutron-star crust-core transition density, and find a small 5% correction.

We discuss the building blocks for a consistent inclusion of chiral three-nucleon (3N) interactions into ab initio nuclear structure calculations beyond the lower p-shell. We highlight important technical developments, such as the similarity renormal
ization group (SRG) evolution in the 3N sector, a JT-coupled storage scheme for 3N matrix elements with efficient on-the-fly decoupling, and the importance truncated no-core shell model with 3N interactions. Together, these developments make converged ab initio calculations with explicit 3N interactions possible also beyond the lower p-shell. We analyze in detail the impact of various truncations of the SRG-evolved Hamiltonian, in particular the truncation of the harmonic-oscillator model space used for solving the SRG flow equations and the omission of the induced beyond-3N contributions of the evolved Hamiltonian. Both truncations lead to sizable effects in the upper p-shell and beyond and we present options to remedy these truncation effects. The analysis of the different truncations is a first step towards a systematic uncertainty quantification of all stages of the calculation.
The effective chiral theory of the in-medium NN interactions is considered. The shallow bound states, which complicate the effective field theory analysis in vacuum do not exist in matter. We show that the next-to-leading order terms in the chiral
expansion of the effective Lagrangian can be interpreted as corrections so that the expansion is systematic. The Low Energy Effective Constants of this Lagrangian are found to satisfy the concept of naturalness. The potential energy per particle is calculated. The problems and challenges in constructing the chiral theory of nuclear matter are outlined.
The effective field theory of NN interactions in nuclear matter is considered. Due to the Pauli principle the effective NN amplitude is not affected by the shallow bound states. We show that the next-to-leading order terms in the chiral expansion of
the effective NN potential can be interpreted as corrections so the expansion is systematic. The value of potential energy per particle is calculated and some issues concerning the chiral effective theory of nuclear matter are outlined.
We present a study of the symmetry energy (a_s) and its slope parameter (L) of nuclear matter in the general framework of the Landau-Migdal theory. We derive an exact relation between a_s and L, which involves the nucleon effective mass and three-par
ticle Landau-Migdal parameters. We also present simple estimates which show that there are two main mechanisms to explain the empirical values of L: The proton-neutron effective mass difference in isospin asymmetric matter, and the isovector three-body Landau-Migdal parameter H_0. We give simple estimates of both effects and show that they are of similar magnitude.
We derive from the subleading contributions to the chiral three-nucleon interaction [published in Phys.~Rev.~C77, 064004 (2008) and Phys.~Rev.~C84, 054001 (2011)] their first-order contributions to the energy per particle of isospin-symmetric nuclear
matter and pure neutron matter in an analytical way. For the variety of short-range and long-range terms that constitute the subleading chiral 3N-force the pertinent closed 3-ring, 2-ring, and 1-ring diagrams are evaluated. While 3-ring diagrams vanish by a spin-trace and the results for 2-ring diagrams can be given in terms of elementary functions of the ratio Fermi-momentum over pion mass, one ends up in most cases for the closed 1-ring diagrams with one-parameter integrals. The same treatment is applied to the subsubleading chiral three-nucleon interactions as far as these have been constructed up to now.
