“…When the essential spectrum of the three-particle Hamiltonian is the positive real axis, and when at least two of its two-body Subhamiltonians have a resonance at the threshold zero, the discrete spectrum of the three-body Schrödinger operator is infinite, even if the interactions are very short-range. This phenomenon is striking if one compares it with the results on the finiteness of eigenvalues of two-body Schrödinger operators or N -body Schrödinger operators whose bottom of essential spectrum is only reached by the spectrum of two-cluster Subhamiltonians ( [6,17]). Since then, many works, both in mathematical and physical literature, are devoted to this subject (see, for example, [1,2,3,9,10,13,15,16,19,21,23]).…”
