Asymptotic orbits in a free Fermi gas

We consider the time evolution of local observables and physical states in an infinite system of non-interacting Fermi particles. The orbit of an observable in theC*-algebra of the canonical anticommutation relations is proved to be asymptotic to a set of observables consisting of sums of products of elements of grade two and lower with support in a family of separated cells in ³ (alacunary paving of ³) under time evolution. A space-factorization (clustering) property for primary, even, locally Fock states is established. A class of such states whose space-correlations decay as (logd)^–(1+a) witha positive andd the (space-) separation is, then, proved to be time-asymptotic to their associated quasi-free states.
