Abstract

We study the zero-energy collision of three identical spin-polarized fermions with short-range interactions in one dimension. We derive the asymptotic expansions of the three-body wave function when the three fermions are far apart or one pair and the third fermion are far apart, and the three-body scattering hypervolume DFD_F appears in the coefficients of such expansions. If the two-body interaction is attractive and supports two-body bound states, DFD_F acquires a negative imaginary part related to the amplitudes of the outgoing waves describing the departure of the resultant bound pair and the remaining free fermion. For weak interaction potentials, we derive an approximate formula of the hypervolume by using the Born expansion. For the square-barrier and the square-well potentials and the Gaussian potential, we solve the three-body Schr\"{o}dinger equation to compute DFD_F numerically. We also calculate the shifts of energy and of pressure of spin-polarized one-dimensional Fermi gases due to a nonzero DFD_F and the three-body recombination rate in one dimension.
