Correlation induced collapse of many-body systems with zero-range potentials

D. V. Fedorov, A. S. Jensen

abstract: The zero-range potential is customarily employed in various mean-field calculations of many-body systems in atomic and nuclear physics within, correspondingly, Gross-Pitaevskii and Skyrme-Hartree-Fock approach. We argue, however, that a many-body system with zero-range potentials is unstable against clusterization into collapsed three-body subsystems. We show that neither the density dependence of the potential nor an additional repulsive three-body potential can prevent this unexpected correlational collapse if the potentials are of zero range. Therefore the zero-range potential can only be used in many-body calculations where all three-body correlations are explicitly excluded.
