Some Exactly Solvable Three-Body Problems in One dimension

We study the exact solutions of a particular class of $N$ confined particles of equal mass, with $N=3^k \ (k=2,3,...),$ in the $D=1$ dimensional space. The particles are clustered in clusters of 3 particles. The interactions involve a confining mean field, two-body Calogero type of potentials inside the cluster, interactions between the centres of mass of the clusters and finally a non-translationally invariant $N$-body potential. The case of 9 particles is exactly solved, in...

We present in this paper a rather general method for the construction of so-called conditionally exactly solvable potentials. This method is based on algebraic tools known from supersymmetric quantum mechanics. Various families of one-dimensional potentials are constructed whose corresponding Schr\"odinger eigenvalue problem can be solved exactly under certain conditions of the potential parameters. Examples of quantum systems on the real line, the half line as well as on som...

This work is devoted to the study of some exactly solvable quantum problems of four, five and six bodies moving on the line. We solve completely the corresponding stationary Schr\"odinger equation for these systems confined in an harmonic trap, and interacting pairwise, in clusters of two and three particles, by two-body inverse square Calogero potential. Both translationaly and non-translationaly invariant multi-body potentials are added. In each case, the full solutions are...

We consider classical three-body interactions on a Euclidean line depending on the reciprocal distance of the particles and admitting four functionally independent quadratic in the momenta first integrals. These systems are superseparable (i.e. multiseparable), superintegrable and equivalent (up to rescalings) to a one-particle system in the three-dimensional Euclidean space. Common features of the dynamics are discussed. We show how to determine the quantum symmetry operator...

We study aspects of the quantum and classical dynamics of a $3$-body system in 3D space with interaction depending only on mutual distances. The study is restricted to solutions in the space of relative motion which are functions of mutual distances only. It is shown that the ground state (and some other states) in the quantum case and the planar trajectories in the classical case are of this type. The quantum (and classical) system for which these states are eigenstates is f...

We investigate the existence of bound states in a one-dimensional quantum system of $N$ identical particles interacting with each other through an inverse square potential. This system is equivalent to the Calogero model without the confining term. The effective Hamiltonian of this system in the radial direction admits a one-parameter family of self-adjoint extensions and the negative energy bound states occur when most general boundary conditions are considered. We find that...

As a straightforward generalization and extension of our previous paper, J. Phys. A50 (2017) 215201 we study aspects of the quantum and classical dynamics of a $3$-body system with equal masses, each body with $d$ degrees of freedom, with interaction depending only on mutual (relative) distances. The study is restricted to solutions in the space of relative motion which are functions of mutual (relative) distances only. It is shown that the ground state (and some other states...

We study a one-dimensional quantum problem of two particles interacting with a third one via a scale-invariant subcritically attractive inverse square potential, which can be realized, for example, in a mixture of dipoles and charges confined to one dimension. We find that above a critical mass ratio, this version of the Calogero problem exhibits the generalized Efimov effect, the emergence of discrete scale invariance manifested by a geometric series of three-body bound stat...

In this work, we start from the well known Calogero-Wolfes type 3-body problems on a line and construct the corresponding exactly solvable rationally extended 3-body potentials. In particular, we obtain the corresponding energy eigenvalues and eigenfunctions which are in terms of the product of Xm Laguerre and Xp Jacobi exceptional orthogonal polynomials where both m,p = 1,2,3,....

We present an exact solution of the three-body scattering problem for a one parameter family of one dimensional potentials containing the Calogero and Wolfes potentials as special limiting cases. The result is an interesting nontrivial relationship between the final momenta $p'_i$ and the initial momenta $p_i$ of the three particles. We also discuss another one parameter family of potentials for all of which $p'_i=-p_i~(i=1,2,3)$.
