Two basic correlation functions are calculated for a model of N harmonically interacting identical particles in a parabolic potential well. The density and the pair correlation function of the model are investigated for the boson case. The dependence of these static response properties on the complete range of the temperature and of the number of particles is obtained. The calculation technique is based on the path integral approach of symmetrized density matrices for identical particles in a parabolic confining well. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
