Additivity in kramers pairs symmetry: Multiplets with up to four unpaired electrons

Many fermions Kramers pairs formalism is considered from the prospective of the sum of individual single fermion time‐reversal operators. The obtained many fermions “pseudo Kramers pairs operator” ( ), as well as its square ( ), have formally the same structure as the many fermion spin operators and . Nevertheless, the shape of eigenfunctions with respect to and is different. Herein all Kramers adapted eigenfunctions of for cases of up to four unpaired fermions are compiled, and their properties with respect to further advocated. It will be shown that degeneracy of the multiplets recovers the proper behavior with respect to Pascal's triangle. A projection operator for obtaining the “high spin” Kramers adapted eigenfunctions is suggested. Noncommutation of with spin and angular momentum operators and degeneracy is discussed at last. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
