We discuss unitarity constraints on the dynamics of a system of three interacting particles. We show how the short-range interaction that describes three-body resonances can be separated from the long-range exchange processes, in particular…
The resonance energies of strange dibaryons are investigated with the use of the \bar{K}NN-\pi Y N coupled-channels Faddeev equation. It is found that the pole positions of the predicted three-body amplitudes are significantly modified when…
In recent years extensive theoretical and experimental studies of universal few-body physics have led to advances in our understanding of universal Efimov physics [1]. The Efimov effect, once considered a mysterious and esoteric effect, is…
We consider a system of three particles in dimension 4 and higher interacting via short-range potentials, where the two-body Hamiltonians have a virtual level at the bottom of the essential spectrum. In dimensions 2 (in case of fermions)…
The longest-range part of the nuclear force due to the one-pion exchange governs the energy dependence of the scattering amplitude in the near-threshold region and imposes correlations between the coefficients in the effective range…
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…
Effective field theory requires all observables to be independent of the representation used for the quantum field operators. It means that off-shell properties of the interactions should not lead to any observable effects. We analyse this…
A coordinate space approach, based on that used by Efimov, is applied to three-body systems with contact interactions between pairs of particles. In systems with nonzero orbital angular momentum or with asymmetric spatial wave functions,…
We perform a fit of the finite-volume QCD spectrum of three pions at maximal isospin to constrain the three-body force. We use the unitarity-based relativistic three-particle quantization condition, with the GWUQCD spectrum obtained at 315…

We evaluate the mass polarization term of the kinetic-energy operator for different three-body nuclear $AAB$ systems by employing the method of Faddeev equations in configuration space. For a three-boson system this term is determined by…
Particles with short-range interactions and a large scattering length have universal low-energy properties that do not depend on the details of their structure or their interactions at short distances. In the 2-body sector, the universal…
We prove that the Schr\"odinger operator describing four particles in two dimensions, interacting solely through short-range three-body forces, can possess infinitely many bound states. This holds under the assumption that each three-body…
Available data on large-angle nucleon-deuteron elastic scattering $Nd\to dN$ below the pion threshold give a signal for three-body forces. There is a problem of separation of possible subtle aspects of these forces from off-shell effects in…
We demonstrate remnant structural universality in a putative S-wave $2n$-halo-bound $D^0nn$ system in the $J=0, T=3/2$ channel by invoking the zero-coupling limit (ZCL), which eliminates sub-threshold decay channels. Within this framework,…

In the low-energy limit, non-relativistic particles with short-range interactions exhibit universal behavior that is largely independent of microscopic details. This universality is typically described by effective field theory, in which…
