Abstract
This paper clarifies the topology of the mapping between the and spaces in fermionic systems. Density manifolds corresponding to degeneracies and are shown to have the same mathematical measure: Every density near a -ensemble--representable (-VR) is also -VR (except “boundary densities” of lower measure). The role of symmetry and the connection between and are discussed. A lattice model and the Be series are used as illustrations.
