Abstract

Representability conditions on the one- and two-particle density matrix for fermion systems are formulated by means of Grassmann integrals. A positivity condition for a certain kind of Grassmann integral is established which by an appropriate choice of the integrand, in turn, induces the well-known $\mathrm{G}$-, $\mathrm{P}$- and $\mathrm{Q}$-Conditions of quantum chemistry. Similarly, the $\mathrm{T_1}$- and $\mathrm{T_2}$-Conditions are derived. Furthermore, quasifree Grassmann states are introduced and, for every operator $\widetilde{\gamma} \in \mathcal{H} \oplus \mathcal{H}$ with $0 \leq \widetilde{\gamma} \leq \mathbb{1}$, the existence of a unique quasifree Grassmann state whose one-particle density matrix is $\widetilde{\gamma}$ is shown.
