Abstract

A model operator H associated with the energy operator of a system describing three particles in interaction, without conservation of the number of particles, is considered. The location of the essential spectrum of H is described. The existence of infinitely many eigenvalues (resp. the finiteness of eigenvalues) below the bottom τess(H) of the essential spectrum of H is proved for the case where the associated Friedrichs model has a threshold energy resonance (resp. a threshold eigenvalue). For the number N(z) of eigenvalues of H lying below z < τess(H) the following asymptotics is found

$$\lim\limits_{z \to \tau_{\rm ess}(H)-0}\frac{N(z)}{|\log |z-\tau_{\rm ess}(H)||}={U}_0 (0<{U}_0 <\infty).$$
