Relating the finite-volume spectrum and the two-and-three-particle matrix for relativistic systems of identical scalar particles

Abstract

Working in relativistic quantum field theory, we derive the quantization condition satisfied by coupled two- and three-particle systems of identical scalar particles confined to a cubic spatial volume with periodicity . This gives the relation between the finite-volume spectrum and the infinite-volume , and scattering amplitudes for such theories. The result holds for relativistic systems composed of scalar particles with nonzero mass , whose center of mass energy lies below the four-particle threshold, and for which the two-particle matrix has no singularities below the three-particle threshold. The quantization condition is exact up to corrections of the order and holds for any choice of total momenta satisfying the boundary conditions.
