ملخص: We propose here a new model for the many-body problem that can be solved exactly through the diagonalization of its Hamiltonian. This model, which is founded on a Lie algebra, serves as a useful tool for testing the accuracy of many-body approximation methods.The model consists of a one-dimensional system of two distinguishable sets of fermions interacting via a schematic two-body force. We construct this model's Hamiltonian by means of vector operators that are the generators of an SO(2, 1) group and which satisfy a Lie algebra. We incorporate into the Hamiltonian a symmetry that yields a constant of the motion which, in turn, renders the size of the Hamiltonian matrix finite. The diagonalization of this finitely dimensional matrix gives the exact values of the energy spectrum.
