We study the problem of three fermions with different hyperfine states in a lattice for D=1,2, considering the case of SU(3) attractive interactions and also including a three-body constraint, which mimics the effect of strong three-body losses. We combine an exact diagonalization approach with the Lanczos method, and evaluate both eigenvalues and eigenstates of the problem.
In D=1, we observe that the ground state is always a three-body bound state (trion), while in D=2, due to the stronger influence of finite-size effects, we are not able to identify the existence of a finite threshold for trion formation. Our data are however compatible with a threshold value which vanishes logarithmically with the system size. Moreover we are able to identify the presence of a fine structure inside the spectrum, which we associate with off-site trionic states. Finally, the inclusion of a three-body constraint due to losses stabilizes these off-site trions in the ground state, at least in strong-coupling.
