Three body asymptotic completeness for \(P(\Phi)_ 2\) models (Q788409)

The authors concern themselves with the problem of asymptotic completeness of three body scattering processes in some even \(P(\Phi)_ 2\) models with purely repulsive coupling. Working in the frame-work of analytical field theory developed by Symanzik and Bros, they investigate the generalized Bethe-Salpeter equations. Their main task is to prove that the following are equivalent: (1) asymptotic completeness in the given energy strip, (2) n-particle irreducibility of the Bethe-Salpeter kernels, (3) the analytic and monodrony structure of the connected Green's function near the physical region. The paper adressed itself to (2)\(\Rightarrow(3)\) and (3)\(\Rightarrow(1)\). The analysis of the structure of the six point function integrated over the three incoming momenta reveals that apart from normal thresholds there are only two Landau singular manifolds. While the desired result is \[ H^{in,odd}_{[3(m-\epsilon),5(m-\epsilon)[}=H^{out,odd}_{[3(m- \epsilon),5(m-\epsilon)[}=H^{odd}_{[3(m-\epsilon),5(m-\epsilon)[} \] the authors have succeeded in proving only that \[ H^{in,odd}_{]3m+a(\lambda),4m- b(\lambda)[}=H^{out,odd}_{]3m+a(\lambda),4m- b(\lambda)[}=H^{odd}_{]3m+a(\lambda),4m-b(\lambda)[} \] where \(m(\lambda)\) and \(b(\lambda)\) are function going to zero with \(\lambda\), \(\lambda\) being the coupling constant.
