Abstract

The Hamiltonian of a system of three quantum mechanical particles moving on the three-dimensional lattice and interacting via zero-range attractive potentials is considered. For the two-particle energy operator with $k\in \T^3=(-π,π]^3$ the two-particle quasi-momentum, the existence of a unique positive eigenvalue below the bottom of the continuous spectrum of for is proven, provided that has a zero energy resonance. The location of the essential and discrete spectra of the three-particle discrete Schrödinger operator $H(K), K\in \T^3$ being the three-particle quasi-momentum, is studied. The existence of infinitely many eigenvalues of H(0) is proven. It is found that for the number of eigenvalues of H(0) lying below the following limit exists $$ \lim_{z\to 0-} \frac {N(0,z)}{\mid \log\mid z\mid\mid}=\cU_0 $$ with $\cU_0>0$. Moreover, for all sufficiently small nonzero values of the three-particle quasi-momentum the finiteness of the number of eigenvalues of below the essential spectrum is established and the asymptotics for the number of eigenvalues lying below zero is given.
