We propose a low energy effective field theory of QCD at the scale of pion mass for the $N_B=2$ sector, $N_B$ being the baryon number, which contains two dibaryon fields in addition to the nucleons and pions. It has a well defined counting,…

The motion of three bodies can be solved perturbatively when a tightly bound inner binary is orbited by a distant perturber, giving rise for example to the well-known Kozai-Lidov oscillations. We propose to study the relativistic…
