The main results in the case of massive bosons include: (i)(existence) there exists a ground state without restriction for the strength of the coupling constant ; (ii)(uniqueness) under a mild (nonperturbative) condition for the parameters contained in HsB, HsB has only one ground state; (iii) (degeneracy) under a certain condition for the parameters of HsB which is weaker than that of (ii), the number of the ground states is at most two. In the case of massless bosons, the existence of a ground state of H SB is shown as a limit of ground states of the massive case. The methods used are nonperturbative.Department of Mathematics, Hokkaido UniversityDepartmental Bulletin Paperapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/2115/69060info:doi/10.14943/83456https://eprints.lib.hokudai.ac.jp/dspace/bitstream/2115/69060/1/pre309.pdfHokkaido University Preprint Series in Mathematics3092201995-09-01engpublisher
