Neutron matter presents a unique system for chiral effective field theory (EFT), because all many-body forces among neutrons are predicted to next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order (N3LO). We present the first complete N3LO calculation of the neutron matter energy. This includes the subleading three-nucleon (3N) forces for the first time and all leading four-nucleon (4N) forces. We find relatively large contributions from N3LO 3N forces. Our results provide constraints for neutron-rich matter in astrophysics with controlled theoretical uncertainties.

  1. Amortized Simulation-Based Inference of Relativistic Mean-Field Couplings for Neutron-Star Equations of State

    astro-ph.HE 2026-06 conditional novelty 6.0

    Amortized neural posterior estimation reproduces nested sampling constraints on RMF couplings for neutron-star EOS with no bias and generates 30,000 samples in 2.5 seconds.

  2. Constraining Hamiltonians from chiral effective field theory with neutron-star data

    nucl-th 2026-01 conditional novelty 6.0

    Neutron-star data, run through fast emulators, directly constrain the six two-nucleon low-energy constants of an N2LO chiral Hamiltonian, with future detectors able to strongly pin down the 3P1 channel.

  3. Speed of sound peak in two-color dense QCD: confronting effective models with lattice data

    hep-ph 2025-10 conditional novelty 6.0

    A medium-separated NJL model reproduces the lattice-observed peak in the speed of sound for two-color dense QCD, where conventional cutoff regularization fails.

  4. High-Density Sound Speed and Post-Merger Dynamics

    astro-ph.HE 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0

    The slope of the high-density sound-speed curve shifts the post-merger gravitational-wave peak frequency and ejecta mass, and that peak frequency partially correlates with an integrated 'intrinsic tidal response' — bu...

  5. Scaling of the Surface Free Energy as a Probe of the QCD Critical Region

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    In a constructed QCD equation of state incorporating surface energy, critical exponents require temperature within 1% of the critical value, casting doubt on their measurability in heavy ion experiments.

  6. Scrutiny of the new class of three-nucleon forces

    nucl-th 2025-12 conditional novelty 3.0

    After removing renormalization-scheme-dependent short-distance parts, the scrutinized three-nucleon forces yield small contributions to neutron and symmetric nuclear matter equations of state, aligning with standard c...

  7. Toward a Unified Understanding of the Dense Matter Equation of State

    nucl-th 2025-11 conditional novelty 2.0

    A review of three Bayesian/computational frameworks for combining heavy-ion and astrophysical constraints on the dense-matter equation of state, plus a proposed unified integration workflow.
