Three-body problem in a multiband Hubbard model

arXiv:2201.13139 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.105.063310

Abstract

We consider the three-body problem in a generic multiband lattice, and analyze the dispersion of the trimer states that are made of two spin- fermions and a spin- fermion due to an onsite attraction in between. Based on a variational approach, we first obtain the exact solution in the form of a set of coupled integral equations, and then reduce it to an eigenvalue problem. As an illustration we apply our theory to the sawtooth lattice, and numerically show that energetically-stable trimers are allowed in a two-band setting, which is in sharp contrast with the single-band linear-chain model. In particular we also reveal that the trimers have a nearly-flat dispersion when formed in a flat band, which is unlike the highly-dispersive spectrum of its dimers.
