Implementing the RFT finite-volume formalism for three pions across all non-maximal isospins

Abstract

We present a numerical investigation of the relativistic-field-theoretic (RFT) formalism, used to predict the discrete energy spectrum of three pions in a finite volume. Applying the previously derived generalization, we extract results for all non-maximal isospin values (Iπππ=2,1,I_{\pi\pi\pi} = 2,1, and 00), for different total momenta P\boldsymbol{P}, and for various irreducible representations of the finite-volume symmetry group. We restrict attention to the unphysical scenario in which the three-particle interactions are set to zero. This set-up thus serves as a baseline for future lattice QCD calculations that will aim to extract such three-body interactions.
