Dispersion Relations for Three-Particle Scattering Amplitudes. II

Abstract
We continue our discussion of the scattering of three nonrelativistic spinless particles interacting via two-body Yukawa potentials. The on-energy-shell T matrix is studied as a function of the total center-of-mass energy E for fixed physical values of the vectors yi=ki(2miE)12, yi=ki(2miE)12, i=1,2,3. Here ki and ki are the initial and final momenta of the particles, respectively, and mi are the masses. We show that T(E) can be written as the ratio of two Fredholm series, each of which is uniformly convergent with respect to E for all values of E on the physical sheet including the real axis. Since we have previously seen that each term in these series satisfies a dispersion relation in E with no complex singularities, it follws that the full three-particle amplitude satisfies such a dispersion relation.
