In the first part, we study the symmetry energy and its slope parameter L for nuclear matter, and derive an exact relation between them. In the second part, we discuss the general structure of three-particle interactions in nuclear matter and analyze their connections to other theories.
In the first part of this paper, we present a study of the symmetry energy as and its slope parameter L for nuclear matter in the framework of the Fermi-liquid theory of Landau and Migdal. We derive an exact relation between as and L, which involves the nucleon effective masses and three-particle Landau-Migdal parameters. We present simple estimates which suggest 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 = 0 moment of the isovector in-medium three-particle scattering amplitude. In the second part of this paper, we discuss the general structure of three-particle interactions in nuclear matter in the framework of the Fermi-liquid theory. The connections to the Bethe-Brueckner-Goldstone theory and other approaches are also discussed. We show explicitly how the first few terms in the Faddeev series, together with medium-induced three-particle interactions, emerge naturally in the Fermi-liquid theory.
