We consider matrix structures in the quantum N-body problem that generalize the Faddeev components for resolvents, T-matrices, and eigenfunctions of the continuous spectrum. We write matrix equations for the introduced components of T-matrices and resolvents and use these equations to obtain matrix operators generalizing the matrix three-particle Faddeev operators to the case of arbitrarily many particles. We determine the eigenfunctions of the continuous spectrum of these matrix operators. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We formulate quantum scattering theory in terms of a discrete L2-basis of eigen differentials. Using projection operators in the Hilbert space, we develop a universal method for constructing finite-dimensional analogues of the basic operators of the scattering theory: S- and T-matrices, resolvent operators, and Möller wave operators as well as the analogues of resolvent identities and the Lippmann-Schwinger equations for the T-matrix. The developed general formalism of the discrete scattering theory results in a very simple calculation scheme for a broad class of interaction operators. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
