TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of the neutron-proton mass difference in isospin-violating nuclear forces was treated by a field redefinition, which removed that mass difference from the free Lagrangian and replaced its effect by effective interactions.
Abstract: A method is developed for treating the effect of the neutron-proton mass difference in isospin-violating nuclear forces. Previous treatments utilized an awkward subtraction scheme to generate these forces. A field redefinition is used to remove that mass difference from the free Lagrangian (and hence from asymptotic nucleon states) and replace its effect by effective interactions. Previous calculations of static class II charge-independence-breaking and class III charge-symmetry-breaking potentials are verified using the new scheme, which is also used to calculate class IV nuclear forces. Two-body forces of the latter type are found to be identical to previously obtained results. A three-body force is also found. Problems involving Galilean invariance with class IV one-pion-exchange forces are identified and resolved.

TL;DR: In this article, the nuclear forces can be derived using effective chiral Lagrangians consistent with the symmetries of QCD, and the status of the calculations for two and three nucleon forces and their applications in few-nucleon systems are reviewed.
Abstract: Nuclear forces can be systematically derived using effective chiral Lagrangians consistent with the symmetries of QCD. I review the status of the calculations for two- and three-nucleon forces and their applications in few-nucleon systems. I also address issues like the quark mass dependence of the nuclear forces and resonance saturation for four-nucleon operators.

Abstract: We review how nuclear forces emerge from low-energy QCD via chiral effective field theory. The presentation is accessible to the non-specialist. At the same time, we also provide considerable detailed information (mostly in appendices) for the benefit of researchers who wish to start working in this field.

TL;DR: In this paper, the structure of the nuclear force in the framework of chiral effective field theory of QCD and its applications to processes involving few nucleons are discussed. But they do not consider the nuclear forces in terms of the number of nucleons.

TL;DR: The nuclear physics landscape has been redesigned as a sequence of effective field theories (EFTs) connected to the Standard Model through symmetries and lattice simulations of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: The nuclear physics landscape has been redesigned as a sequence of effective field theories (EFTs) connected to the Standard Model through symmetries and lattice simulations of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). EFTs in this sequence are expansions around different low-energy limits of QCD, each with its own characteristics, scales, and ranges of applicability regarding energy and number of nucleons. We review each of the three main nuclear EFTs---Chiral, Pionless, Halo/Cluster---highlighting their similarities, differences, and connections. In doing so, we survey the structural properties and reactions of nuclei that have been derived from the ab initio solution of the few- and many-body problem built upon EFT input.
