This paper concerns the theory of direct A(d, p)B reactions and how practical 3-body models of them are related to the optical model potentials describing the interaction of the deuterons constituents and the target A. A new definition of the nucleon optical potential is introduced which necessitates a careful examination of the boundary conditions involved in the associated coupled channel formalism. The new definition turns out to be very convenient for making a connection with the theory of the A(d, p)B reaction. The analysis is carried out within an antisymmetrised, translationally invariant formalism and provides a firm basis from a many-body point of view for the three-body force effects calculated in [Physical Review C 99 064612(2019)].
