Limits on the Domain of Coupling Constants for Binding N-Body Systems with No Bound Subsystems

Nuclear Theory 2009-10-28 v1

Abstract

We study the domain of coupling constants for which a 3-body or 4-body system is bound while none of its subsystems is bound. Limits on the size of the domain are derived from a variant of the Hall--Post inequalities which relate NN-body to (N1)(N-1)-body energies at given coupling. Possible applications to halo nuclei and hypernuclei are briefly outlined.
