Abstract

Using a coarse temporal lattice approximation, we calculate the first few terms of the virial expansion of a three-species fermion system with a three-body contact interaction in dd spatial dimensions, both in homogeneous space as well as in a harmonic trapping potential of frequency ω\omega. Using the three-body problem to renormalize, we report analytic results for the change in the fourth- and fifth-order virial coefficients Δb4\Delta b_4 and Δb5\Delta b_5 as functions of Δb3\Delta b_3. Additionally, we argue that in the ω0\omega \to 0 limit the relationship bnT=nd/2bnb_n^\text{T} = n^{-d/2} b_n holds between the trapped (T) and homogeneous coefficients for arbitrary temperature and coupling strength (not merely in scale-invariant regimes). Finally, we point out an exact, universal (coupling- and frequency-independent) relationship between Δb3T\Delta b_3^\text{T} in 1D with three-body forces and Δb2T\Delta b_2^\text{T} in 2D with two-body forces.
