Abstract

The first practical method to evolve many-body nuclear forces to softened form using the similarity renormalization group in a harmonic oscillator basis is demonstrated. When applied to He4 calculations, the two- and three-body oscillator matrix elements yield rapid convergence of the ground-state energy with a small net contribution of the induced four-body force.
