Abstract: We consider a Hamiltonian describing three quantum particles in dimension one interacting through two-body short-range potentials. We prove that, as a suitable scale parameter in the potential terms goes to zero, such Hamiltonian converges to one with zero-range (also called delta or point) interactions. The convergence is understood in norm resolvent sense. The two-body rescaled potentials are of the form vsigmavarepsilon(xsigma)=varepsilon1vsigma(varepsilon1xsigma), where sigma=23,12,31 is an index that runs over all the possible pairings of the three particles, xsigma is the relative coordinate between two particles, and varepsilon is the scale parameter. The limiting Hamiltonian is the one formally obtained by replacing the potentials vsigma with alphasigmadeltasigma, where deltasigma is the Dirac delta-distribution centered on the coincidence hyperplane xsigma=0 and alphasigma=intmathbbRvsigmadxsigma. To prove the convergence of the resolvents we make use of Faddeev's equations.
