The absence of the Efimov effect in systems of one- and two-dimensional particles

Abstract

We study virtual levels of $N$-particle Schrödinger operators and prove that if the particles are one-dimensional and $N\ge 3$, then virtual levels at the bottom of the essential spectrum correspond to eigenvalues. The same is true for two-dimensional particles if $N\ge 4$. These results are applied to prove the non-existence of the Efimov effect in systems of $N\ge 4$ one-dimensional or $N\ge 5$ two-dimensional particles.
