Two- and three-body interactions in $$\varphi ^4$$ φ4 theory from lattice simulations
Abstract We calculate the one-, two- and three-particle energy levels for different lattice volumes in the complex $$\varphi ^4$$ φ4 theory on the lattice. We argue that the exponentially suppressed finite-volume corrections for the two- and three-particle energy shifts can be reduced significantly...

| Summary: | Abstract We calculate the one-, two- and three-particle energy levels for different lattice volumes in the complex $$\varphi ^4$$ φ4 theory on the lattice. We argue that the exponentially suppressed finite-volume corrections for the two- and three-particle energy shifts can be reduced significantly by using the single particle mass, which includes the finite-size effects. We show numerically that, for a set of bare parameters, corresponding to the weak repulsive interaction, one can reliably extract the two- and three-particle energy shifts. From those, we extract the scattering length, the effective range and the effective three-body coupling. We show that the parameters, extracted from the two- and three-particle energy shifts, are consistent. Moreover, the effective three-body coupling is significantly different from zero. |
