Abstract

We study semiclassical approximations to the density matrix of a system of Fermions in a one body potential. We derive an expression for the propagator in terms of first and second derivatives of the potential. Our result is thus exact for a harmonic oscillator potential and is equivalent to a partial resummation of the Wigner-Kirkwoodh-expansion. It leads to densities which are well-defined also in the classically forbidden region.
