IMSRG with flowing 3 body operators, and approximations thereof

Abstract

We explore the impact of retaining three-body operators within the in-medium similarity renormalization group (IMSRG), as well as various approximations schemes. After studying two toy problems, idential fermions with a contact interaction and the Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick model, we employ the valence-space formulation of the IMSRG to investigate the even-$A$ carbon isotopes with a chiral two-body potential. We find that retaining only those commutators expressions that scale as $N^7$ provides an excellent approximation of the full three-body treatment.
