2 Outline Introduction The Three- Faddeev Equation Solution expansion Malfliet-Tjon potential Numerical calculations: eigenvalues, eigenfunctions, geometrical connections Conclusions

3 Introduction

4 Introduction Expanding of the tree wave function Basis of hyperspherical adiabatic harmonics The standard projection procedure leads to effective equations for the expansion coefficients How can be solved? Have to find out properties of the basis functions

5 Introduction Geometrical connections A ij = φ i, ρ φ j Develop a formalism to study different models - of a particle off a two bound state - of a particle off a resonant state of a pair of particles Investigate eigenvalues λ k, eigenfunctions φ k, and geometrical connections A ij of the operator h(ρ) = ρ 2 θ + V (ρ cos θ).

6 Faddeev Equation in {ρ, θ} Coordinates

7 Faddeev equation in {ρ, θ} coordinates The Faddeev s-wave equation in polar coordinates ( ρ 2 1 ) 4ρ 2 U(ρ, θ) + ( 1ρ ) 2 2θ + V (ρ cos θ) U(ρ, θ) 3 θ+(θ) EU(ρ, θ) = V (ρ cos θ) dθ U(ρ, θ ) 4 θ (θ) where θ + (θ) = π/2 π/6 θ and θ (θ) = π/3 θ

8 Faddeev equation in {ρ, θ} coordinates The boundary conditions should be imposed for the solution: Regularity of the solution U(0, θ) = U(ρ, 0) = U(ρ, π/2) = 0 Asymptotics as ρ U(ρ, θ) ϕ(x)ρ 1/2 sin(qy)/q + +a(q)ϕ(x)ρ 1/2 exp(iqy) + A(θ, E) exp(i Eρ), where x = ρ cos θ.

9 Faddeev equation in {ρ, θ} coordinates The bound-state wave function of the two target system ϕ(x) obeys the equation { 2 x + V (x)}ϕ(x) = ɛϕ(x) It is assumed that the discrete spectrum of the Hamiltonian 2 x + V (x) consists of one negative eigenvalue ɛ at most

10 Basis functions

11 Expansion basis As basis we choose the eigenfunctions set of the operator h(ρ) ( ρ 2 2 θ + V (ρ cos θ)) φ k (θ ρ) = λ k (ρ)φ k (θ ρ) ρ is an external parameter for h(ρ) EV and EF of h(ρ) inherit parametrical dependence on ρ

12 Spectral properties The main spectral properties of the operator h(ρ) as ρ and of the two Hamiltonian 2 x + V (x) λ = lim ρ λ 0(ρ) = ɛ, φ 0 (θ ρ) = ρ ϕ(ρ cos θ)(1 + O(ρ µ )) Excited states φ k (θ ρ), k 1, when ρ the asymptotic behavior is given by the formulas λ k (ρ) ( ) 2k 2, ρ φ k (θ ρ) 2 π sin(2kθ)

13 Perturbation Theory

14 Perturbation theory - introduction If the parameter ρ is large the support of the potential V (ρ cos θ) is small on the interval [0, π/2] The estimates for EV and EF of the operator h(ρ) can be obtained by the perturbation theory considering the potential V (ρ cos θ) as a small perturbation λ k λ 0 k + λ1 k, φ k (θ ρ) φ 0 k (θ ρ) + φ1 k (θ ρ) The leading terms λ 0 k and φ0 k for k 1 are given by λ 0 k = (2k)2 /ρ 2, φ 0 k (θ ρ) = 2 π sin(2kθ)

15 Correction terms The first order correction terms λ 1 k and φ1 k are defined in terms of the matrix elements of the potential V (ρ cos θ) π/2 V nk (ρ) = φ 0 n V φ 0 k = dθ φ 0 n(θ ρ)v (ρ cos θ)φ 0 k (θ ρ) 0 As the model situation, the function V (x) is taken in the form of Yukawa potential V (x) = C exp( µx) x where C and µ are some parameters.

16 Calculation of corrections As we set ρ, we can approximately calculate integral n+k 16nkC V nk (ρ) ( 1) π [1 exp( µr)(1 + µr)] µ 2 1 ρ 3. The first order correction term λ 1 k is λ 1 k = V kk ρ 3 The second order correction term λ 2 k is λ 2 k = n k V nk 2 λ (0) k λ (0), n λ 2 k ρ 4

17 Calculation of corrections For eigenfunctions the first correction term is given by φ 1 k = n k V nk λ (0) k λ n (0) φ 0 n ρ 1 From equation ( 1ρ 2 2θ + V (ρ cos θ) ) φ k (θ ρ) = λ k (ρ)φ k (θ ρ) one can obtain formula for A ij A ij = φ i V ρ φ j λ i λ j

18 A ij Rough calculation of A ij leads to dependence A ij ρ 2, i, j 0 A ij ρ 5/2, i = 0 or j = 0

19 Solution Expansion

20 Solution expansion The operator h(ρ) is Hermitian on [0, π/2] interval and its eigenfunction set {φ k (θ ρ)} 0 is complete. U(ρ, θ) = φ 0 (θ ρ)f 0 (ρ) + k 1 φ k (θ ρ)f k (ρ) Substituting this expansion in Faddev equation and projecting on basis functions lead to the following system of equations for F k (ρ), k = 0, 1,... ( ρ 2 1 4ρ 2 + λ k(ρ) E i=0 ) F k (ρ) = ( F i (ρ) 2A ki + B ki (ρ)f i (ρ) W ki (ρ)f i (ρ) ρ )

21 Solution expansion The nonadiabatical matrix elements A ki (ρ), B ki (ρ) and potential coupling matrix W ki (ρ) are given by integrals A ki (ρ) = φ k ρ φ i = B ki (ρ) = φ k 2 ρ φ i = W ki (ρ) = 3 4 π/2 0 π/2 0 π/2 0 dθφ k (θ ρ) φ i(θ ρ), ρ dθφ k (θ ρ) 2 φ i (θ ρ) ρ 2, θ+ dθφ (θ) k (θ ρ)v (ρ cos θ) dθ φ i (θ ρ) θ (θ)

22 Solution expansion Presence of first derivative F i (ρ) in the right part of the expression Matrix form of equation ( ρ 2 1 ) 4ρ 2 + Λ(ρ) E F (ρ) = 2AF (ρ)+(b W )F (ρ)

23 Transform equation in form Solution expansion F (ρ) + PF (ρ) + QF (ρ) = 0 ( ) where P = 2A and Q = 1 Λ(ρ) + E + B W are 4ρ 2 two-dimensional infinite matrices Introduce F = UG and elements of G are new unknown quantities

24 Solution expansion UG + ( 2U + PU ) G + ( U + PU + QU ) G = 0 Equation for matrix U U = 1 PU = AU 2 As ρ U(ρ) = I + ρ AUdρ

25 Solution expansion Form without first derivative ( UG P 1 ) 4 P2 + Q UG = 0 Substitute expressions for P and Q G + U 1 ( A (ρ) A 2 (ρ) + 1 4ρ 2 Λ(ρ) + E + B W )UG = 0

26 Solution expansion As ρ asymptotic behavior U(ρ) I ( ρ 2 1 ) 4ρ 2 I + Λ(ρ) E G = = ( A (ρ) A 2 (ρ) + B(ρ) W (ρ) ) G The right hand side terms vanish for large ρ faster than ρ 2. Hence this terms can be neglected. ( ρ 2 1 ) 4ρ 2 + λas k (ρ) E G k (ρ) = 0 here λ as 0 (ρ) = ɛ and λas k (ρ) = (2k)2 /ρ 2, k 1

27 Solution expansion Solutions to these equations with appropriate asymptotics can be expressed in terms of the Bessel (Y, J) functions and the Hankel (H (1) ) functions of the first kind as following πqρ G 0 (ρ) 2 πqρ a 0 (q) G k (ρ) a k (E) Y 0 (qρ) J 0 (qρ) 2q + 2 H(1) 0 (qρ)eiπ/4 π Eρ H (1) 2 2k ( Eρ)e i(π/4+kπ)
