The quantum mechanical three-body problem is a source of continuing interest due to its complexity and not least due to the presence of fascinating solvable cases. The prime example is the Efimov effect where infinitely many bound states of…
The micro-canonical phase-space volume for the three-body problem is an elementary quantity of intrinsic interest, and within the flux-based statistical theory, it sets the scale of the disintegration time. While the bare phase-volume…

Based on Lippmann-Schwinger equation approach, we discuss a three-particle system in finite volume. A set of equations which relate the discrete finite-volume energies to the scattering amplitudes are derived under the approximation of the…
The use of leading order effective field theory (EFT) to describe neutron-deuteron scattering leads to integral equations that have unusual behaviour: when only two-body interactions are included, the scattering amplitude does not approach…

We consider a possible resummation of subleading effects in two-body systems with a large scattering length as described by a short-range effective field theory (EFT). In particular, we investigate the consequences of a resummation of part…
The presence of a massless spin-2 field in an effective field theory results in a $t$-channel pole in the scattering amplitudes that precludes the application of standard positivity bounds. Despite this, recent arguments based on…

We study systems of bosons and fermions in finite periodic boxes and show how the existence and properties of few-body resonances can be extracted from studying the volume dependence of the calculated energy spectra. Using a…
We discuss finite-volume computations of two-body hadronic decays below the inelastic threshold (e.g. $K\to\pi\pi$ decays). The relation between finite-volume matrix elements and physical amplitudes, recently derived by Lellouch and…
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…

There has recently been an intense activity in the study of finite volume effects by means of chiral perturbation theory. In this contribution I review recent work in this field both for the epsilon-- (Mpi L \lesssim 1) and the p--regime…
The effect of the finite size of an array of scatterers on the position of the resonance poles of the scattered amplitudes is studied. This effect must be studied because in reality, an infinite array cannot be realized. In particular, it…
A sanity check rules out certain types of obviously false results, but does not catch every possible error. After reviewing such a sanity check for $NN$ bound states with the L\"uscher's finite volume formula[1-3], we give further evidences…
