Abstract

We discuss the stability problem for a system of N identical fermions with unit mass interacting with a different particle of mass m via zero-range interactions in dimension three. We find a stability parameter m*(N) >0, increasing with N, such that the Hamiltonian of the system is self-adjoint and bounded from below for m>m*(N).

STABILITY FOR A SYSTEM OF N FERMIONS PLUS A DIFFERENT PARTICLE WITH ZERO-RANGE INTERACTIONS

Michele Correggi, Gianfausto Dell’Antonio, Domenico Finco +2 more

We study the stability problem for a non-relativistic quantum system in dimension three composed by N ≥ 2 identical fermions, with unit mass, interacting with a different particle, with mass m, via a zero-range interaction of strength α ∈ ℝ. We construct the corresponding renormalized quadratic (or energy) form [Formula: see text] and the so-called Skornyakov–Ter–Martirosyan symmetric extension H α , which is the natural candidate as Hamiltonian of the system. We find a value of the mass m*(N) such that for m > m*(N) the form [Formula: see text] is closed and bounded from below. As a consequence, [Formula: see text] defines a unique self-adjoint and bounded from below extension of H α and therefore the system is stable. On the other hand, we also show that the form [Formula: see text] is unbounded from below for m < m*(2). In analogy with the well-known bosonic case, this suggests that the system is unstable for m < m*(2) and the so-called Thomas effect occurs.

Universal description of three two-component fermions

O. I. Kartavtsev, A. V. Malykh

A quantum-mechanical three-body problem for two identical fermions of mass m and a distinct particle of mass m 1 in the universal limit of zero-range two-body interaction is studied. For the unambiguous formulation of the problem in the interval μ r < m / m 1 ≤ μ c ( μ r ≈ 8.619 and μ c ≈ 13.607 ) an additional parameter b determining the wave function near the triple-collision point is introduced; thus, a one-parameter family of self-adjoint Hamiltonians is defined. The dependence of the bound-state energies on m/m 1 and b in the sector of angular momentum and parity L P = 1 − is calculated and analysed with the aid of a simple model.

On the quantum mechanical three-body problem with zero-range interactions

Giulia Basti, Alessandro Teta

In this note we discuss the quantum mechanical three-body problem with pairwise zero-range interactions in dimension three. We review the state of the art concerning the construction of the corresponding Hamiltonian as a self-adjoint operator in the bosonic and in the fermionic case. Exploiting a quadratic form method, we also prove self-adjointness and boundedness from below in the case of three identical bosons when the Hilbert space is suitably restricted, i.e., excluding the "s-wave“ subspace.

Stability of the (2+2)-fermionic system with zero-range interaction

Alessandro Michelangeli, Paul E. Pfeiffer

Abstract We introduce a 3D model, and we study its stability, consisting of two distinct pairs of identical fermions coupled with a two-body interaction between fermions of different species, whose effective range is essentially zero (a so called (2+2)-fermionic system with zero-range interaction). The interaction is modelled by implementing the celebrated (and ubiquitous in the literature of this field) Bethe–Peierls contact condition with given two-body scattering length within the Krein–Višik–Birman theory of extensions of semi-bounded symmetric operators, in order to make the Hamiltonian a well-defined (self-adjoint) physical observable. After deriving the expression for the associated energy quadratic form, we show analytically and numerically that the energy of the model is bounded below, thus describing a stable system.

Energy lower bound for the unitary N + 1 fermionic model

Michele Correggi, Domenico Finco, Alessandro Teta

We consider the stability problem for a unitary N + 1 fermionic model, i.e. , a system of N identical fermions interacting via zero-range interactions with a different particle, in the case of infinite two-body scattering length. Starting from the two-body boundary condition, we construct an explicit expression for the expectation value of the energy. Then we investigate its boundedness from below and exhibit a sufficient condition on the mass ratio, which guarantees the stability of the model.
