Abstract

We study a system of three bosons interacting with short-range potentials which can move along three different lines. Two of these lines are parallel to each other within one plane. The third line is constrained to a plane perpendicular to the first one. Recently it was predicted in physics literature that such a system exhibits the so-called confinement induced Efimov effect. We prove that this prediction is not correct by showing that this system has at most finitely many bound-states.
