Exact Ground State of Several N-body Problems With an N-body Potential
Abstract
I consider several N-body problems for which exact (bosonic) ground state and a class of excited states are known in case the N-bodies are also interacting via harmonic oscillator potential. I show that for all these problems the exact (bosonic) ground state and a class of excited states can also be obtained in case they interact via an N-body potential of the form (or ). Based on these and previously known examples, I conjecture that whenever an N-body problem is solvable in case the N-bodies are interacting via an oscillator potential, the same problem is also solvable in case they are interacting via the N-body potential. Based on several examples, I also conjecture that in either case one can always add an N-body potential of the form and the problem is still solvable except that the degeneracy in the bound state spectrum is now much reduced.
