Abstract

In this paper, we determine at weak coupling the non-relativistic nn-body Schr\"{o}dinger equation that describes the low-lying color singlet bound states of two dimensional adjoint QCDQCD with heavy quarks. In the case of three adjoint quarks, we show that the three-body equation reduces equivalently to the Schr\"{o}dinger equation that describes a point electric dipole in an electric field in a plane angular sector. We conjecture that the three-body problem is solvable. The eigenstates are given in terms of the triconfluent Heun functions. Our conjecture implies that a bound state of three adjoint quarks is described by a particle confined in a two dimensional Cornell potential. We expect the nn-parton problem also to be solvable in a similar fashion.
