摘要:
An alternative approach for understanding the problem of N identical interacting particles in quantum mechanics is presented. In particular, it is shown that the Kummer variety (KV) is a complete solution of the N-representability problem. Furthermore, it provides insight into the microscopic process accompanying a phase transition at T=0.
