Three-Body-Cluster Effects on Lambda Single-Particle Energies in   _{Lambda}^{17}O and_{Lambda}^{41}Ca
  A method for a microscopic description of Lambda hypernuclei is formulated in the framework of the unitary-model-operator approach. A unitarily transformed hamiltonian is introduced and given in a cluster expansion form. The structure of three-body-cluster terms are discussed especially on the Lambda single-particle energy. The Lambda single-particle energies including the three-body-cluster contributions are calculated for the 0s_{1/2}, 0p_{3/2} and 0p_{1/2} states in_{Lambda}^{17}O, and for the 0s_{1/2}, 0p_{3/2}, 0p_{1/2}, 0d_{5/2}, 0d_{3/2} and 1s_{1/2} states in_{Lambda}^{41}Ca, using the Nijmegen soft-core (NSC), NSC97a-f, the Juelich A (J A) and J B hyperon-nucleon interactions. It is indicated that the three-body-cluster terms bring about sizable effects in the magnitudes of the Lambda single-particle energies, but hardly affect the Lambda spin-orbit splittings.
