The exact (bosonic) ground state and a class of excited states are obtained for several Calogero-type N-body problems in D dimensions when the N bodies are also interacting via an N-body potential of the form −e2/Σri2.
We construct a new many-body Hamiltonian with two- and three-body interactions in two space dimensions and obtain its exact many-body ground state for an arbitrary number of particles. This ground state has a novel pairwise correlation. A class of exact solutions for the excited states is also found. These excited states display an energy spectrum similar to the Calogero-Sutherland model in one dimension. The model reduces to an analog of the well-known trigonometric Sutherland model when projected on to a circular ring.
The exact solution for the ground state of the quantum one-dimensional N-boson problem with attractive $\ensuremath{\delta}$-function two-body potentials is compared with the (exact) self-consistent solution of the corresponding variational Hartree problem.
