We investigate the BCS-BEC crossover taking into account an additional three-body interaction, which is essentially the scattering between the Cooper pairs and the newly formed bosons. We show that if the two-body interaction is attractive,…
It is shown that the effective interaction strength of three bosons at small collision energies can be extracted from their wave function at zero energy. An asymptotic expansion of this wave function at large interparticle distances is…
The properties of two-component Fermi gases become universal if the interspecies s-wave scattering length $a_s$ and the average interparticle spacing are much larger than the range of the underlying two-body potential. Using an explicitly…
Peierls gap is analyzed in case of a two-dimensional lattice under the influence of a magnetic field, in a tight-binding approximation. By using a non-analytic class of potentials, such as the Kohmoto potential in the Harper model,…
We discuss effective field theory treatments of the problem of three particles interacting via short-range forces (range R >> a_2, with a_2 the two-body scattering length). We show that forming a once-subtracted scattering equation yields a…
We study non-equilibrium dynamics of ultracold two-component Fermi gases in low-dimensional geometries after the interactions are quenched from weakly interacting to strongly interacting regime. We develop a T-matrix formalism that takes…
The exchange of a single pion does not contribute to $N\alpha$ scattering, due to the isoscalar nature of the target. Therefore peripheral $N\alpha$ scattering may be used to probe existing models for the two-pion exchange component of the…

We develop the perturbation theory for bosons interacting via a two-body potential $V$ of vanishing mean value. We find that the leading nonpairwise contribution to the energy emerges in the third order in $V$ and represents an effective…
We show that polar molecules driven by microwave fields give naturally rise to strong three-body interactions, while the two-particle interaction can be independently controlled and even switched off. The derivation of these effective…

A simple analytic expression of the three-body wave function describing the system $(\alpha\alpha n)$ in the ground state $\frac{3}{2}^-$ of ${}^9\mathrm{Be}$ is obtained. In doing this, it is assumed that the $\alpha$ particles interact…
Analyzing the exchange energy of two conduction electrons in a crystal we find that the exchange energy may be negative and, thus, a singlet state may be favorable. A full overlap in real space of wave functions of two conduction electrons…
Like electrons, Cooper pairs can carry a monopole charge if the pairing electrons come from two or more Fermi surfaces with different Chern numbers. In such an instance, a superconductor is necessarily nodal due to an inherent topological…
Many-body effects may influence properties, such as scattering parameters, nature of pairing, etc., close to a Feshbach resonance in the fermion BEC-BCS crossover problem. We study effects such as these using a tractable crossing-symmetric…
