Abstract: (APS)
In this article we complete our formalism relating the finite-volume energy spectrum of a scalar quantum field theory to the three-to-three scattering amplitude, M3. In previous work [Phys. Rev. D 90, 116003 (2014)], we found a quantization condition relating the spectrum to a nonstandard infinite-volume quantity, denoted Kdf,3. Here we present the relation between Kdf,3 and M3. We then discuss briefly how our now completed formalism can be practically implemented to extract M3 from the finite-volume energy spectrum.
