For zero-range interaction providing a given mass M_2 of the two-body bound state, the mass M_3 of the relativistic three-body bound state is calculated. We have found that the three-body system exists only when M_2 is greater than a…
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 derive exact relations for $N$ spin-1/2 fermions with zero-range or short-range interactions, in continuous space or on a lattice, in $2D$ or in $3D$, in any external potential. Some of them generalize known relations between energy,…
Atom-dimer scattering below the three-body break-up threshold is studied for a system of three identical bosons. The atom-dimer scattering length and the energy of the most weakly-bound three-body state are shown to be strongly correlated.…
The stability of a Bose-Einstein condensed state of trapped ultra-cold atoms is investigated under the assumption of an attractive two-body and a repulsive three-body interaction. The Ginzburg-Pitaevskii-Gross (GPG) nonlinear Schr\"odinger…
Strong interactions produce a rich spectrum of resonances that decay into three or more hadrons. Understanding their phenomenology requires a theoretical framework to extract parameters fromexperimental data and Lattice QCD simulations of…
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…
We report the creation and the study of the stability of a repulsive quasi-homogeneous spin-$1/2$ Fermi gas with contact interactions. For the range of scattering lengths $a$ explored, the dominant mechanism of decay is a universal…

Cold atoms embedded in a degenerate Fermi system interact via a fermionic analog of the Casimir force, which is an attraction of a -1/r form at distances shorter than the Fermi wavelength. Interestingly, the hydrogenic two-body bound states…
We study the effective Bloch-wave scattering of a spinless Fermi gas in one-dimensional (1D) optical lattices. By tuning the odd-wave scattering length, we find multiple resonances of Bloch-waves scattering at the bottom (and the top) of…
We propose a systematic T-matrix approach to solve few-body problems with s-wave contact interactions in ultracold atomic gases. The problem is generally reduced to a matrix equation expanded by a set of orthogonal molecular states,…
We investigate the occurrence of Borromean three-body continuum s-wave resonances, in an $\alpha\alpha\beta$ system for large negative two-body scattering lengths. The energy and width are determined by a scaling function with arguments…

An effective field theory for the three-body system with large scattering length is applied to three-body recombination to a weakly-bound s-wave state in a Bose gas. Our model independent analysis demonstrates that the three-body…
We study three dimensional Bose and Fermi gases in the upper branch, a phase defined by the absence of bound states in the repulsive interaction regime, within an approximation that considers only two-body interactions. Employing a…
The properties of two-component Fermi gases become universal if the interspecies s-wave scattering length $a_s$ and the average interparticle spacing are much larger than the range of the underlying two-body potential. Using an explicitly…
We calculate shallow three-body bound states in the universal regime, defined by Efimov, with inclusion of both scattering length and effective range parameters. The universal spectrum is recovered for the least bound states, whereas for…
We consider a spin-balanced degenerate gas of spin-1/2 fermions whose dynamics is governed by low-energy $P$-wave interactions, characterized by the scattering volume $a_1$ and effective momentum $r_1$. The energy per particle…
