Abstract

The resolution of the Schr\"odinger equation for the translation-invariant NN-body harmonic oscillator Hamiltonian in DD dimensions with one-body and two-body interactions is performed by diagonalizing a matrix J\mathbb{J} of order N1N-1. It has been previously established that the diagonalization can be analytically performed in specific situations, such as for N5N \le 5 or for NN identical particles. We show that the matrix J\mathbb{J} is diagonal, and thus the problem can be analytically solved, for any number of arbitrary masses provided some specific relations exist between the coupling constants and the masses. We present analytical expressions for the energies under those constraints.
