In two and three dimensions they represent common eigenstates of bosonic Hamiltonians with any kind of contact interactions, and illustrate a partial `multi-dimensional Bethe Ansatz' or `quantum-KAM theorem'. The lattice analogs of these functions exist for N<=L^[d/2] where L is the linear size of the box, and are common eigenstates of Bose-Hubbard Hamiltonians and spin-1/2 XXZ Heisenberg models.23 pages.
