For the two-particle energy operator $h(k),$ with $k\\in \\T^3=(-\\pi,\\pi]^3$ the two-particle quasi-momentum, the existence of a unique positive eigenvalue below the bottom of the continuous spectrum of $h(k)$ for $k\\neq0$ is proven, provided that $h(0)$ has a zero energy resonance. The location of the essential and discrete spectra of the three-particle discrete Schr\\\"{o}dinger 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 $N(0,z)$ of eigenvalues of H(0) lying below $z<0$ 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 $K$ the finiteness of the number $ N(K,\\tau_{ess}(K))$ of eigenvalues of $H(K)$ below the essential spectrum is established and the asymptotics for the number $N(K,0)$ of eigenvalues lying below zero is given.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2003-12-10T15:23:10.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "81Q10", "35P20", "47N50" ], "keywords": [ "discrete spectrum asymptotics", "efimov effect", "schrödinger operators", "eigenvalue", "three-particle quasi-momentum" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 28, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2003math.ph..12026A" } } }
