It is shown that the three-body forces in the $1f_{7/2}$ shell, for which recently evidence was found on the basis of spectroscopic properties of the Ca isotopes and $N=28$ isotones, can be most naturally explained as an effective…
We investigate the three-body $DDK$ system with quantum numbers $I(J^P) = \frac{1}{2}(0^-)$ within a coupled-channel framework that incorporates both $DDK$ and $D^{*}D^{*}K$ configurations. The $D^{(*)}D^{(*)}$ interactions are described…
We discuss modeling of nuclear structure beyond the 2-body interaction paradigm. Our first example is related to the need of three nucleon contact interaction terms suggested by chiral perturbation theory. The relationship of the two…
We formulate the three-body problem in one dimension in terms of the (Faddeev-type) integral equation approach. As an application, we develop a spinless, one-dimensional (1-D) model that mimics three-nucleon dynamics in one dimension. Using…
Recently it has been argued that a three-body colour confinement interaction can affect the stability condition of a three-quark system and the spectrum of a tetraquark described by any constituent quark model. Here we discuss the role of a…
A study of 3-body resonances has been performed in the framework of configuration space Faddeev equations. The importance of keeping a sufficient number of terms in the asymptotic expansion of the resonance wave function is pointed out. We…

Using the Fixed Center Approximation to Faddeev equations we have investigated the $DKK$ and $DK\bar{K}$ three-body systems, considering that the $DK$ dynamically generates, through its $I=0$ component, the $D^*_{s0}(2317)$ molecule.…
We have investigated S-wave bound states composed of three identical bosons interacting via regulated delta function potentials in non-relativistic quantum mechanics. For low-energy systems, these short-range potentials serve as an…
Starting from 2003, a large number of the so-called exotic hadrons, such as $X(3872)$ and $D_{s0}^*(2317)$, were discovered experimentally. Since then, understanding the nature of these states has been a central issue both theoretically and…
The inclusion of the three-nucleon forces (3NFs) in \textit{ab initio} many-body approaches is a formidable task, due to the computational load implied by the treatment of their matrix elements. For this reason, practical applications have…

We show that in realistic constituent quark models based on a two-body confinement interaction color states appear in the middle of the experimentally known spectrum. To avoid this situation we implement a three-body confinement…
We study the impact of three-body forces on the response functions of cold neutron matter. These response functions are determined in the random phase approximation (RPA) from a residual interaction expressed in terms of Landau parameters.…

Using modern nucleon-nucleon interactions in the description of the $A=3,4$ nuclear systems the $\chi^2$ per datum results to be much bigger than one. In particular it is not possible to reproduce the three- and four-nucleon binding…
The parity-violating (PV) nucleon-nucleon ($N\!N$) interaction in the three-nucleon system is investigated using pionless effective field theory ($\mathrm{EFT}(/\!\!\!\pi)$). This work shows that a next-to-leading order (NLO) PV three-body…
