This report concerns the energy of a zero-temperature many-body system of spin 1/2 fermions in the unitary limit. In a previous report (arXiv:0705.0944) this energy was determined to be xi~0.24 in units of the free gas kinetic energy,…
We investigate the $s$-wave three-body system of two neutrons and one flavored meson with total spin-isospin $J=0,I=3/2$. The meson-neutron scattering length can become infinitely large in an unphysical region of the quark mass when…
Efimov physics originally refers to a system of three particles. Here we review recent theoretical progress seeking for manifestations of Efimov physics in systems composed of more than three particles. Clusters of more than three bosons…
Strongly interacting systems appear in several areas of physics and are characterized by attractive interactions that can almost, or just barely, loosely bind two particles. Although this definition is made at the two-body level, this gives…
We treat small trapped unequal-mass two-component Fermi gases at unitarity within a non-perturbative microscopic framework and investigate the system properties as functions of the mass ratio $\kappa$, and the numbers $N_{1}$ and $N_2$ of…
Particles with short-range interactions and a large scattering length have universal low-energy properties that do not depend on the details of their structure or their interactions at short distances. In the 2-body sector, the universal…
Small weakly-bound droplets determine a number of properties of ultracold Bose and Fermi gases. For example, Efimov trimers near the atom-atom-atom and atom-dimer thresholds lead to enhanced losses from bosonic clouds. Generalizations to…
We prove that the Schr\"odinger operator describing four particles in two dimensions, interacting solely through short-range three-body forces, can possess infinitely many bound states. This holds under the assumption that each three-body…

We consider a system of three particles in dimension 4 and higher interacting via short-range potentials, where the two-body Hamiltonians have a virtual level at the bottom of the essential spectrum. In dimensions 2 (in case of fermions)…
Efimov trimers are exotic three-body quantum states that emerge from the different types of three-body continua in the vicinity of two-atom Feshbach resonances. In particular, as the strength of the interaction is decreased to a critical…
