Abstract

Spin components for the Grassmann product of the one-electron reduced density matrix with itself are compared with those of the two-electron reduced density matrix for the same state. It is found that the Grassmann product introduces some inappropriate behaviors which must be removed by the cumulant but are not what is usually thought of as correlation.
