Popis: It is known that three-body contact interactions in one-dimensional $n(\geq3)$-body problems of nonidentical particles can be topologically nontrivial: they are all classified by unitary irreducible representations of the pure twin group $PT_{n}$. It was, however, unknown how such interactions are described in the Hamiltonian formalism. In this paper, we study topologically nontrivial three-body contact interactions from the viewpoint of the path integral. Focusing on spinless particles, we construct an $n(n-1)(n-2)/3!$-parameter family of $n$-body Hamiltonians that corresponds to one particular one-dimensional unitary representation of $PT_{n}$. These Hamiltonians are written in terms of background Abelian gauge fields that describe infinitely-thin magnetic fluxes in the $n$-body configuration space.
