Abstract

Electron correlation in atoms and molecules finds a very natural expression in terms of the reduced density matrices within the formalism of second quantization. The fundamental relations of this theory lead here to a discussion of the correlation effects and their connexion with two properties of the group functions frequently studied by Prof. Ede Kapuy: strong orthogonality and the concept of independence. The other aim of this paper is to examine the direct expression of the correlation effects in terms of reduced density matrices.
