1. + NNN +.... tens of MeV ab initio Intro: effective low-energy theory for medium mass and heavy nuclei  mean-field ( or nuclear DFT )  beyond mean-field ( projection ) Summary Symmetry (isospin) violation and restoration:  unphysical symmetry violation  isospin projection  Coulomb rediagonalization (explicit symmetry violation) in collaboration with J. Dobaczewski, W. Nazarewicz, M. Rafalski & M.
