Abstract

The three-body bound-state problem is formulated in terms of fieldtheoretic (FT) amplitudes. The two-particle “effective potentials” of this theory are expressed in terms of the random-phase approximation and ladder schemes. These are cast into convenient single-particle equations by means of FT renormalization.
