The softening of phenomenological and effective field theory (EFT) potentials by renormalization group (RG) transformations that decouple low and high momenta leads to greatly enhanced convergence in few- and many-body systems while maintaining a decreasing hierarchy of many-body forces. This review surveys the RG-based technology and results, discusses the connections to chiral EFT, and clarifies various misconceptions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2010-06-11T15:30:47.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "nuclear structure", "low-momentum interactions", "many-body interactions", "infinite matter", "effective field theory" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1016/j.ppnp.2010.03.001", "journal": "Progress in Particle and Nuclear Physics", "year": 2010, "month": "Jul", "volume": 65, "number": 1, "pages": 94 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 76, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 840624, "adsabs": "2010PrPNP..65...94B" } } }
