The spectrum of a bound state of three identical particles with a mass $m$ in a finite cubic box is studied. It is shown that in the unitary limit, the energy shift of a shallow bound state is given by $\Delta E=c (\kappa^2/m)\,(\kappa…

A perturbative calculation of the three-nucleon ground-state energy shift in a finite volume is carried out within the non-relativistic effective theory. The energy shift is evaluated up to and including $\mathcal{O}(L^{-6})$, where $L$ is…
We consider a particle with a position-dependent mass, moving in a three-dimensional semi-infinite parallelepipedal or cylindrical channel under the influence of some hyperbolic potential. We show that the lack of uniformity in the…
Working in relativistic quantum field theory, we derive the quantization condition satisfied by coupled two- and three-particle systems of identical scalar particles confined to a cubic spatial volume with periodicity $L$. This gives the…
We consider the binding energy of a two-body system with a repulsive Coulomb interaction in a finite periodic volume. We define the finite-volume Coulomb potential as the usual Coulomb potential, except that the distance is defined as the…
The three-particle quantization condition is partially diagonalized in the center-of-mass frame by using cubic symmetry on the lattice. To this end, instead of spherical harmonics, the kernel of the Bethe-Salpeter equation for…
