Bound states and scattering lengths of three two-component particles   with zero-range interactions under one-dimensional confinement
  The universal three-body dynamics in ultra-cold binary gases confined to one-dimensional motion are studied. The three-body binding energies and the (2 + 1)-scattering lengths are calculated for two identical particles of mass $m$ and a different one of mass $m_1$, which interactions is described in the low-energy limit by zero-range potentials. The critical values of the mass ratio $m/m_1$, at which the three-body states arise and the (2 + 1)-scattering length equals zero, are determined both for zero and infinite interaction strength $\lambda_1$ of the identical particles. A number of exact results are enlisted and asymptotic dependences both for $m/m_1 \to \infty$ and $\lambda_1 \to -\infty$ are derived. Combining the numerical and analytical results, a schematic diagram showing the number of the three-body bound states and the sign of the (2 + 1)-scattering length in the plane of the mass ratio and interaction-strength ratio is deduced. The results provide a description of the homogeneous and mixed phases of atoms and molecules in dilute binary quantum gases.
