Abstract
We compute relativistic corrections to the triton binding energy () using an effective -wave potential which yields, in the nonrelativistic case, MeV. In the framework of Vinogradov's formulation of the three-body problem in Lobachevsky space, we find MeV. We use two-body matrices that give the same two-body phase shifts and binding as the nonrelativistic matrices. Our results for relativistic corrections are substantially larger than those previously reported.
