Charged three-body system with arbitrary masses near conformal invariance

Within an adiabatic approximation to the three-body Coulomb system, we study the strength of the leading order conformaly invariant attractive dipole interaction produced when a slow charged particle $q_3$ (with mass $m_3$) is captured by the first excited state of a dimer [with individual masses and charges $(m_1,q_1$) and ($m_2,q_2=-q_1$)]. The approach leads to a universal mass-charge critical condition for the existence of three-body level condensation, ${(m_1^{-1}+m_2^{-1})}/ {[(m_1+m_2)^{-1}+m_3^{-1}]}>|{q_1}/(24 q_3)|$, as well as the ratio between the geometrically scaled energy levels. The resulting expressions can be relevant in the analysis of recent experimental setups with charged three-body systems, such as the interactions of excitons, or other matter-antimatter dimers, with a slow charged particle.Comment: 5 pages, 1 figure, to appear in Physical Review

Nuclear Matter Properties in Derivative Coupling Models Beyond Mean - Field Approximation

The structure of infinite nuclear matter is studied with two of the Zimanyi - Moszkowski (ZM) models in the framework of a relativistic approximation which takes into account Hartree terms and beyond and is compared with the results which come out of the relativistic Hartree - Fock approach in the linear Walecka model. The simple treatment applied to these models can be used in substitution to the more complicated Dirac - Brueckner - Hartree - Fock method to perform future calculations in finite nuclei.Comment: 11 pages including 1 table, 1 figure (available upon request

Four-boson scale near a Feshbach resonance

We show that an independent four-body momentum scale $\mu_{(4)}$ drives the tetramer binding energy for fixed trimer energy (or three-body scale $\mu_{(3)}$) and large scattering length ($a$). The three- and four-body forces from the one-channel reduction of the atomic interaction near a Feshbach resonance disentangle $\mu_{(4)}$ and $\mu_{(3)}$. The four-body independent scale is also manifested through a family of Tjon-lines, with slope given by $\mu_{(4)}/\mu_{(3)}$ for $a^{-1}=0$. There is the possibility of a new renormalization group limit cycle due to the new scale

Form factors in the Bullough-Dodd related models: The Ising model in a magnetic field

We consider particular modification of the free-field representation of the form factors in the Bullough-Dodd model. The two-particles minimal form factors are excluded from the construction. As a consequence, we obtain convenient representation for the multi-particle form factors, establish recurrence relations between them and study their properties. The proposed construction is used to obtain the free-field representation of the lightest particles form factors in the $\Phi_{1,2}$ perturbed minimal models. As a significant example we consider the Ising model in a magnetic field. We check that the results obtained in the framework of the proposed free-field representation are in agreement with the corresponding results obtained by solving the bootstrap equations.Comment: 20 pages; v2: some misprints, textual inaccuracies and references corrected; some references and remarks adde

Finite temperature results on the 2d Ising model with mixed perturbation

A numerical study of finite temperature features of thermodynamical observables is performed for the lattice 2d Ising model. Our results support the conjecture that the Finite Size Scaling analysis employed in the study of integrable perturbation of Conformal Field Theory is still valid in the present case, where a non-integrable perturbation is considered.Comment: 9 pages, Latex, added references and improved introductio
