Abstract

The partition function for a system of bosons or fermions interacting via pairwise harmonic forces is evaluated exactly. It is found that the partition function has a structure similar to that of a system of independent bosons or fermions in an external harmonic well with, however, an important modification which implies a greatly reduced density of states.
