Abstract: Recurrence and explicit formulae for contractions (partial traces) of antisymmetric and symmetric products of identical trace class operators are derived. Contractions of product density operators of systems of identical fermions and bosons are proved to be asymptotically equivalent to, respectively, antisymmetric and symmetric products of density operators of a single particle, multiplied by a normalization integer. The asymptotic equivalence relation is defined in terms of the thermodynamic limit of expectation values of observables in the states represented by given density operators. For some weaker relation of asymptotic equivalence, concerning the thermodynamic limit of expectation values of product observables, normalized antisymmetric and symmetric products of density operators of a single particle are shown to be equivalent to tensor products of density operators of a single particle. This paper presents the results of a part of the author's thesis [W. Radzki, "Kummer contractions of product density matrices of systems of $n$ fermions and $n$ bosons" (Polish), MS thesis, Institute of Physics, Nicolaus Copernicus University, Toru'{n}, 1999].

Review text

This paper deals with contractions of antisymmetric and symmetric product density operators that represent mixed states of systems of identical noninteracting fermions and bosons, respectively. In particular, recurrence and explicit formulae for contractions of antisymmetric and symmetric products of identical trace class operators are derived. For simplification, contractions of product density operators of systems of identical fermions and bosons are proved to be asymptotically equivalent to antisymmetric and symmetric products of density operators of a single particle, in terms of the thermodynamic limit of expectation values of observables in the sates represented by given density operators, and further to tensor products of density operators of a single particle.
