Abstract

This paper concerns the long-standing question of representing (totally) anti-symmetric functions in high dimensions. We propose a new ansatz based on the composition of an odd function with a fixed set of anti-symmetric basis functions. We prove that this ansatz can exactly represent every anti-symmetric and continuous function and the number of basis functions has efficient scaling with respect to dimension (number of particles). The singular locus of the anti-symmetric basis functions is precisely identified.
