Abstract
A class of exact Wightman functionals satisfying all fundamental physical requirements in an arbitrary number of space-time dimensions, which bear the appearance of describing interacting fields, was recently constructed by C. Read [1]. It is shown here, that the construction can be considerably generalized, and that even the enlarged class belongs to the Borchers class of a system of generalized free fields.
