The Pauli exclusion principle and beyond

Quantum Physics 2009-04-15 v1

Abstract

The Pauli exclusion principle can be stated as inequality <ψρψ>1<\psi|\rho|\psi>\le 1 for the electron density matrix ρ\rho. Nowadays it is replaced by skew symmetry of the multi-electron wave function. The replacement leads to numerous additional constraints on ρ\rho, which are discussed in this letter together with their physical implications, in particular for spin magnetic moment of a multi-electron system.
