Abstract
For multipartite states, we consider a notion of symmetry. For a system of qubits, it coincides with the usual permutational symmetry. In the case of qudits (), the symmetry is stronger than the permutational one. For the space of all -symmetric vectors in , we define a basis composed of vectors which are analogs of Dicke states. The aim of this paper is to discuss the problem of separability of -symmetric states which are diagonal in the basis . We show that if is even and is arbitrary then a positive partial transposition property is a necessary and sufficient condition of separability for -invariant diagonal states. In this way, we generalize results obtained by Yu [Phys. Rev. A 94, 060101(R) (2016)] and Wolfe and Yelin [Phys. Rev. Lett. 112, 140402 (2014)]. Our strategy is to use some classical mathematical results on a moment problem.
