Our goal here is to explain how analysis of the Laplacian on the globally symmetric space SL(3, ℝ)/SO(3, ℝ) is very closely related to quantum three-body scattering. In particular, we adapt geometric constructions from recent advances in that field by one of us (A.V.), as well as from a previous paper of ours concerning resolvents for product spaces, to give a precise description of the resolvent and the spherical functions on this space. Amongst the many technical advantages, these methods give results which are uniform up to the walls of the Weyl chambers. References 1J.-P.
