Abstract

A review is first presented of the Hall--Post inequalities relating N-body to (N-1)-body energies of quantum bound states. These inequalities are then applied to delimit, in the space of coupling constants, the domain of Borromean binding where a composite system is bound while smaller subsystems are unbound.
