We present some recent developments on the nuclear many-body problem, such as the treatment of high-order correlations and finite temperature in the description of in-medium two-nucleon propagators. In this work we discuss two-time propagators of the particle-hole type, which describe the response of finite nuclei to external probes without nucleon transfer. The general theory is formulated in terms of the equation of motion method for these propagators with the only input from the bare nucleon-nucleon interaction. The numerical implementation was performed on the basis of the effective mason-nucleon Lagrangian in order to study the energy-dependent kernels of different complexity. The finite-temperature extension of the theory with ph ⊗ phonon configurations is applied to a study of the multipole response of medium-mass nuclei.

It is shown that the use of a density-dependent effective Pauli potential together with a generic nucleon–nucleon interaction potential plays a crucial role to reproduce not only the binding energies but also the matter root mean square radii of medium mass range spin–isospin saturated nuclei. This study is performed with a semiclassical Monte Carlo many-body simulation within the context of a simplified nucleon–nucleon interaction to focus on the effect of the genuine correlations due to the fermionic nature of nucleons. The procedure obtained is rather robust and it does not depend on the detailed features of the nucleon–nucleon interaction. For nuclei below saturation the density dependence may be represented in terms either of the nucleon number, A, or the associated Fermi momenta. When testing the simulation procedure for idealized "infinite" symmetric nuclear matter within the corresponding range of densities, we find that, beyond the low particle number limit, finite size effects do not affect the Pauli potential strength parametrization.

An extremely simple form for the energy density of a nuclear many-body system is derived from the two-body nucleon-nucleon interaction. This theory, which yields excellent results for energies and density distributions of finite nuclei, is used to determine the ground state configuration of matter at sub-nuclear density. As the baryon density is increased, nuclei become progressively more neutron rich until neutrons eventually escape, yielding a Coulomb lattice of bound neutron and proton clusters surrounded by a dilute neutron gas. The clusters enlarge and the lattice constant decreases with increasing density, approaching a completely uniform state near nuclear density.

We discuss some special aspects of the nuclear many-body problem related to isospin transfer. The major quantity of interest is the in-medium propagator of a particlehole configuration of the proton-neutron character, which determines the nuclear response to isospin transferring external fields. One of the most studied excitation modes is the Gamow-Teller resonance (GTR), which can, therefore, be used as a sensitive test for the theoretical approaches. Its low-energy part, which is responsible for the beta decay halflives, is especially convenient for this. Models benchmarked against the GTR can be used to predict other, more exotic, excitations studied at nuclear rare isotope beam facilities and in astrophysics. As far as the precision is concerned, the major problem in such an analysis is to disentangle the effects related to the underlying interaction and those caused by the many-body correlations. Therefore, approaches (i) based on fundamental concepts for the nucleon-nucleon interaction which (ii) include complex many-body dynamics are the preferred ones. We discuss progress and obstacles on the way to such approaches.
