Properties of the nucleon-nucleon interaction leading to a standing wave instability in symmetric nuclear matter

We examine a recently proposed nucleon-nucleon interaction, claimed by its authors both to be realistic and to lead to a standing-wave instability in symmetric nuclear matter. Contrary to these claims, we find that this interaction leads to a serious overbinding of 4He, 16O, and 40Ca nuclei when the Hartree-Fock method is properly applied. The resulting nuclear densities contradict the experimental data and all realistic Hartree-Fock results
