The relativistic many body problem with an oscillator interactionWe start with the total energy E for a system of three scalar relativistic particles that, because of Einstein's relation, will have square roots of functions of the momenta. By taking powers of this relation, we finally get a fourth degree polynomial in E(exp 2), where the square roots have disappeared, and which we can convert into a type of Schroedinger equation. To be in the center of mass frame we pass to Jocobi momenta and then replace them by creation and annihilation operators. We thus get an equation in terms of the generators of a U(2) group, which, in principle, we can solve in an elementary way. Finally, we rewrite our equation in a Poincare invariant form.
