We expose the relation between the properties of the three-body continuum states and their two-body subsystems. These properties refer to their bound and virtual states and resonances, all defined as poles of the $S$-matrix. For one…
We consider a quantum many-body system on a lattice with a continuous symmetry which exhibits a spontaneous symmetry breaking in its infinite volume ground states, but in which the order operator does not commute with the Hamiltonian. A…
Universal properties of mass-imbalanced three-body systems in 2D are studied using zero-range interactions in momentum space. The dependence of the three-particle binding energy on the parameters (masses and two-body energies) is highly…
We investigate systems of three mutually interacting particles with masses of which the inner is much bigger than the intermediate and the latter is much bigger than the outer. Then the three-body problem reduces to the two-body scattering…
Three body systems with short-range interactions display universal features that have been extensively explored in atomic physics, but apply to hadron physics as well. Systems composed of two non-interacting identical particles (species H)…
We consider three-body systems in two dimensions with zero-range interactions for general masses and interaction strengths. The momentum-space Schr\"odinger equation is solved numerically and in the Born-Oppenheimer (BO) approximation. The…
Entanglement asymmetry has emerged as a powerful tool for characterizing symmetry breaking in quantum many-body systems. In this Letter, we explore how symmetry is dynamically broken through the lens of entanglement asymmetry in two…

In understanding the world of matter, the introduction of symmetry principles following experimentation or using the predictive power of symmetry principles to guide experimentation is most profound. The conservation of energy, linear…
We consider bound states of asymmetric three-body systems confined to two dimensions. In the universal regime, two energy ratios and two mass ratios provide complete knowledge of the three-body energy measured in units of one two-body…
The quantum problem of four particles in $\mathbb{R}^d$ ($d\geq 3$), with arbitrary masses $m_1,m_2,m_3$ and $m_4$, interacting through an harmonic oscillator potential is considered. This model allows exact solvability and a critical…
The pair-specific ground state energy of Newtonian N-body systems grows monotonically in N. This furnishes a whole family of simple new tests for minimality of putative ground state energies obtained through computer experiments. Inspection…
We derive expressions for three-body phase space that are explicitly symmetrical in the masses of the three particles, by three separate methods.
In the light of SU(3) flavor symmetry, the effective interaction Hamiltonian in tensor form is obtained by virtue of group representation theory. The strong and electromagnetic breaking effects are treated as a spurion octet so that the…
A system of particles hopping on a line, singly or as merged pairs, and annihilating in groups of three on encounters, is solved exactly for certain symmetrical initial conditions. The functional form of the density is nearly identical to…
