We perform 2{nu}{beta}{beta} and 0{nu}{beta}{beta} calculations for {sup 76}Ge, {sup 128}Te, and {sup 130}Te using effective interactions derived from the Paris and Bonn-A potentials. Extended model spaces are employed in setting up the quasiparticle random phase approximation (QRPA) equations, on which our present calculations are based. For {sup 76}Ge the model space consists of nine orbits, the two major shells from 0{ital f}{sub 7/2} to 2{ital s}{sub 1/2}, and for the tellurium case we include eleven orbits spanning three major shells from 1{ital p}{sub 3/2} to 1{ital f}{sub 7/2}. The bare-{ital G}-matrix elements are first calculated, with the Pauli exclusion operator carefully treated with a matrix inversion method, so that double counting between the calculated effective interaction and the above model spaces is strictly avoided. We then calculate the renormalized effective interaction, including corrections from core polarizations and folded diagrams. The effect of core polarization is found to be highly significant, especially for {sup 76}Ge. There appears to be a compensating effect from the folded diagrams; the net results with core polarizations and folded diagrams both included become rather close to the bare-{ital G} results. Unlike earlier QRPA calculations, our calculated {ital M}{sub GT} matrix elements for 2{nu}{beta}{beta} do not seem to exhibit strong dependence on {ital g}{sub pp}, the particle-particle interaction strength parameter, in the vicinity of {ital g}{sub pp}=1.0.
