Lets say we have two spin 0 particles that don't interact more than being indistingishable..
what are the degenercies for the energylevels?
I would say:

PHP:
(n1, n2)                                  D
---------------------------------------

(0,0)                                     1
((1,0)+(0,1))                             1

((2,0)+(0,2)); (1,1)                      2 
((1,2) + (2,1));((3,0)+(0,3))             2
with the pattern begin 1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4...
If we insted study 2 fermions of same type and same m-eigenvalue. I then got 0, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3 ,3...
Do you agree with my results?
