Abstract:We introduce a definition of the approximate spectrum of an operator which is useful in reduced density matrix theory. With precise knowledge of D2 (the cone of representable reduced 2-densities) our approximate spectrum of any Hermitian, symmetric, one-body operator, A, agrees with the usual spectrum of operators on Fock space. The virtue of our definition is that with only approximate knowledge of D2 we can compute the approximate spectrum for A. The approximate spectrum turns out to be a sensitive tool in assessing the quality of cones of approximately representable reduced 2-densities. Using this notion, we are able to point out a dramatic failure of one cone of approximately representable reduced 2-densities often referred to in the literature. In addition we show how reduced density matrices for excited states of systems with two-body interactions can be computed, given D4 the cone of reduced 4-densities.
