The time-independent mean-field theory of collisions converts an intractable linear problem, namely, the calculation of the many-body propagator (E-H${)}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}1}$, into a numerically solvable problem, namely, the coupled calculation of single-particle propagators (\ensuremath{\eta}-h${)}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}1}$. The latter problem, however, reflects its nonlinearity through many solutions, out of which only one is nonspurious and gives a good approximation to the unique solution (off shell) of the former, linear problem. We prove the stability of this nonspurious solution in the special case of a four-body, one-dimensional collision. The experience thus gained is used to generate transition-shell models in the case of a realistic, three-dimensional, four-body elastic collision.

This contributed conference proceeding reviews some results about a system of a few identical particles with spin trapped in one-dimensional potentials and experiencing two-body interactions. The focus is on how symmetry, integrability, and solvability depend on the trap shape, two-body interaction, the number of particles, and the number of spin components. A series of comments are presented that characterize the minimal symmetries possible for a composite system constructed from interacting single particles, with special focus on the contact interaction. For five and more particles with internal components like spin, a kind of universality called algebraically solvability is lost.

We construct a family of quasi-solvable quantum many-body systems by an algebraic method. The models contain up to two-body interactions and have permutation symmetry. We classify these models under the consideration of invariance property. It turns out that this family includes the rational, hyperbolic (trigonometric) and elliptic Inozemtsev models as particular cases.
