TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of tensor terms on the Skyrme energy functional was studied and a set of 36 parametrizations were constructed, covering a wide range of the parameter space of the isoscalar and isovector tensor term coupling constants with a fit protocol very similar to that of the successful SLy parameterization.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the self-consistent Gorkov-Green function approach to obtain a good description of the two-neutron separation energies of mid-mass isotope chains.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present results from a new ab initio method that uses the self-consistent Gorkov-Green's function theory to address truly open-shell systems, and demonstrate that the method is a valid alternative to multireference approaches for tackling degenerate or near-degenerate quantum systems.

TL;DR: In this article, the generalized Wick theorem is used to regularize non-nondiagonal energy kernels such that divergences and steps are removed from multi-reference EDF energies.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors address the viability of non-integer powers of the density matrices in the nuclear energy density functional and conclude that noninteger powers are not viable and should be avoided in the first place when constructing the energy density functionals that are eventually meant to be used in multi-reference calculations.
