Abstract: We consider properties of the ground state density for the d-dimensional Fermi gas in an harmonic trap. Previous work has shown that the d-dimensional Fourier transform has a very simple functional form. It is shown that this fact can be used to deduce that the density itself satisfies a third order linear differential equation, previously known in the literature but from other considerations. It is shown too how this implies a closed form expression for the 2k-th non-negative integer moments of the density, and a second order recurrence. Both can be extended to general Re,k>d/2. The moments, and the smoothed density, permit expansions in 1/ildeM2, where ildeM=M+(d+1)/2, with M denoting the shell label. The moment expansion substituted in the second order recurrence gives a generalisation of the Harer--Zagier recurrence, satisfied by the coefficients of the 1/N2 expansion of the moments of the spectral density for the Gaussian unitary ensemble in random matrix theory.
