We propose a model that describes approximately the strong-coupling limit of interacting electrons and holes in a one-dimensional quantum wire. An exact solution for this model at the symmetric point of equal electron and hole masses and for a particular ratio of the forward- (f) to backward-scattering (g) is obtained by means of the Bethe ansatz. The model discussed is a hybrid between the chiral invariant Gross-Neveu model of quantum chromodynamics and the massive Thirring model. While the eigenstates exhibit a huge degeneracy in colour (spin) space as in the Hubbard model, the charge excitation spectrum comprizes excitons, bi-excitons and other electron-hole complexes (droplets) for not too repulsive interactions (). In the regime of strong repulsion (), the bi-excitons and large droplets disappear from the spectrum.
