@article {2016, title = {Multiplicity of self-adjoint realisations of the (2+1)-fermionic model of Ter-Martirosyan--Skornyakov type}, number = {SISSA;65/2016/MATE}, year = {2016}, abstract = {We reconstruct the whole family of self-adjoint Hamiltonians of Ter-Martirosyan- Skornyakov type for a system of two identical fermions coupled with a third particle of different nature through an interaction of zero range. We proceed through an operator-theoretic approach based on the self-adjoint extension theory of Krein, Vi{\v s}iik, and Birman. We identify the explicit {\textquoteleft}Krein-Vi{\v s}ik-Birman extension param- eter{\textquoteright} as an operator on the {\textquoteleft}space of charges{\textquoteright} for this model (the {\textquoteleft}Krein space{\textquoteright}) and we come to formulate a sharp conjecture on the dimensionality of its kernel. Based on our conjecture, for which we also discuss an amount of evidence, we explain the emergence of a multiplicity of extensions in a suitable regime of masses and we re- produce for the first time the previous partial constructions obtained by means of an alternative quadratic form approach.}, url = {http://urania.sissa.it/xmlui/handle/1963/35267}, author = {Alessandro Michelangeli and Andrea Ottolini} }
