Description

We present a field theoretic method for the calculation of the second and third virial coefficients b2 and b3 of two-species fermions interacting via a contact interaction. The method is mostly analytic. We find a closed expression for b3 in terms of the two- and three-body T matrices. We recover numerically, at unitarity, and also in the whole Bose-Einstein-condensate-BCS crossover, previous numerical results for the third virial coefficient b3.
