Abstract

For quantum systems of zero-range interaction we discuss the mathematical scheme within which modelling the two-body interaction by means of the physically relevant ultra-violet asymptotics known as the "Ter-Martirosyan-Skornyakov condition" gives rise to a self-adjoint realisation of the corresponding Hamiltonian. This is done within the self-adjoint extension scheme of Krein, Visik, and Birman. We show that the Ter-Martirosyan-Skornyakov asymptotics is a condition of self-adjointness only when is imposed in suitable functional spaces, and not just as a pointwise asymptotics, and we discuss the consequences of this fact on a model of two identical fermions and a third particle of different nature.
