Some Exactly Solvable Three-Body Problems in One dimension

In the present paper we give the general solution of the functional equation $$ (f(x)+g(y)+h(z))^2 = F(x)+G(y)+H(z), x+y+z=0 $$ which is related to the exact factorized ground-state wave function for the quantum one-dimensional problem of three different particles with pairwise interaction.

Three-body Schroedinger equation is studied in one dimension. Its two-body interactions are assumed composed of the long-range attraction (dominated by the L-th-power potential) in superposition with a short-range repulsion (dominated by the (-K)-th-power core) plus further subdominant power-law components if necessary. This unsolvable and non-separable generalization of Calogero model (which is a separable and solvable exception at L = K = 2) is presented in polar Jacobi coo...

The group theoretical description of the three-particle problem provides successful techniques for the solution of different questions. We present here a review of this approach.

Hamiltonians with inverse square interaction potential occur in the study of a variety of physical systems and exhibit a rich mathematical structure. In this talk we briefly mention some of the applications of such Hamiltonians and then analyze the case of the N-body rational Calogero model as an example. This model has recently been shown to admit novel solutions, whose properties are discussed.

We quantize the 1-dimensional 3-body problem with harmonic and inverse square pair potential by separating the Schr\"odinger equation following the classic work of Calogero, but allowing all possible self-adjoint boundary conditions for the angular and radial Hamiltonians. The inverse square coupling constant is taken to be $g=2\nu (\nu-1)$ with ${1/2} <\nu< {3/2}$ and then the angular Hamiltonian is shown to admit a 2-parameter family of inequivalent quantizations compatible...

By using the technique of supersymmetric quantum mechanics, we study a quasi exactly solvable extension of the N-particle rational Calogero model with harmonic confining interaction. Such quasi exactly solvable many particle system, whose effective potential in the radial direction yields a supersymmetric partner of the radial harmonic oscillator, is constructed by including new long-range interactions to the rational Calogero model. An infinite number of bound state energy l...

Superintegrable Hamiltonian systems describing the interactions among three point masses on a line have been described in [2]. Here, we show examples of how the approach of above can be extended to a higher number of particles on a line and on higher dimensional manifolds. This paper is a slightly extended version of a poster presented at the XVI ICMP held in Prague, 3-8 August 2009.

We present a method for solving trapped few-body problems and apply it to three equal-mass particles in a one-dimensional harmonic trap, interacting via a contact potential. By expressing the relative Hamiltonian in Jacobi cylindrical coordinates, i.e. the two-dimensional version of three-body hyperspherical coordinates, we discover an underlying ${\rm C}_{6v}$ symmetry. This symmetry simplifies the calculation of energy eigenstates of the full Hamiltonian in a truncated Hilb...

We study a heavy-heavy-light three-body system confined to one space dimension provided the binding energy of an excited state in the heavy-light subsystems approaches zero. The associated two-body system is characterized by (i) the structure of the weakly-bound excited heavy-light state and (ii) the presence of deeply-bound heavy-light states. The consequences of these aspects for the behavior of the three-body system are analyzed. We find strong indication for universal beh...

The three-dimensional Schr\"odinger equation with a position-dependent (effective) mass is studied in the framework of Supersymmetrical (SUSY) Quantum Mechanics. The general solution of SUSY intertwining relations with first order supercharges is obtained without any preliminary constraints. Several forms of coefficient functions of the supercharges are investigated and analytical expressions for the mass function and partner potentials are found. As usual for SUSY Quantum Me...
