Abstract

From the subleading contributions to the chiral three-nucleon (3N) interaction [published in Phys. Rev. C 77, 064004 (2008)10.1103/PhysRevC.77.064004 and Phys. Rev. C 84, 054001 (2011)10.1103/PhysRevC.84.054001], their first-order contributions to the energy per particle of isospin-symmetric nuclear matter and pure neutron matter are derived in an analytical way. For the variety of short-range and long-range terms that constitute the subleading chiral 3N force the pertinent closed 3-ring, 2-ring, and 1-ring diagrams are evaluated. While 3-ring diagrams vanish by a spin-trace and the results for 2-ring diagrams can be given in terms of elementary functions of the ratio Fermi momentum over pion mass, one ends up in most cases for the closed 1-ring diagrams with one-parameter integrals. The same treatment is applied to the subsubleading chiral three-nucleon interactions as far as these have been constructed up to now.
