We discuss renormalization of the non-relativistic three-body problem with short-range forces. The problem is non-perturbative at momenta of the order of the inverse of the two-body scattering length. An infinite number of graphs must be summed, which leads to a cutoff dependence that does not appear in any order in perturbation theory. We argue that this cutoff dependence can be absorbed in one local three-body force counterterm and compute the running of the three-body force with the cutoff. This allows a calculation of the scattering of a particle and the two-particle bound state if the corresponding scattering length is used as input. We also obtain a model-independent relation between binding energy of a shallow three-body bound state and this scattering length. We comment on the power counting that organizes higher-order corrections and on relevance of this result for the effective field theory program in nuclear and molecular physics.

    Resonant two-magnon interactions in long-range spin chains yield Efimov three-magnon states for alpha in (2, 2.89) and semi-super Efimov states at alpha=2, confirmed by numerical solution of the Skorniakov-Ter-Martiro...

  5. Efimov Effect in Long-range Quantum Spin Chains

    cond-mat.quant-gas 2025-02 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Long-range interactions in quantum spin chains enable the Efimov effect for magnons by inducing continuous scale invariance in two-body states that becomes discrete in the three-body problem.

    cond-mat.quant-gas 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    EFT study of ^4He trimers and tetramers around unitarity limit yields binding energies and radii that converge to phenomenological potential results after including finite-range and four-body corrections.

    nucl-th 2026-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Short-distance production of three neutrons in pionless EFT is dominated by the P-wave and shows no resonance-like structure; three bosons show Efimov-resonance peaks, and effective-range corrections are small.
