for N=2 would there be 4 possible states for distinguishable/2 for bosons/1 for fermions?

So for fermions they must be antisymmetric so would there just be N states since the second particle's state will have to be antisymmetric to the first? For bosons would it be 2N?

Thanks! Still somewhat confused after reading the mathematical definitions. How do I get the answer to my problem from these?

I don't really understand your question - probably not much!

My thoughts are: a) it should just be N^2 b) just N since they're identical c) due to Pauli exclusion would it be N^2 - N since they have to be different states?

I know the basis I should use is |m_1,m_2> and that each m can be 1,0,-1 but how do I get the eigenvalues from this?

updated with LaTeX!

I tried plugging Psi into the right of the Schrödinger equation but can't get anything close to the solution or anything that is usable. How should I solve this?
