We have searched for bound rotationally excited states of the helium trimer using the symmetry-adapted hyperradial adiabatic approach. Since the calculated J p = 2+ and J p = 1− potential curves are both completely repulsive, we infer that there are no bound rotational states of 4He3. A recent adiabatic calculation [1] based on the direct solution of the Coriolis-coupled Schrodinger equation agrees with this conclusion.
