Abstract

Analytical expressions are derived for sums of matrix elements and their squared moduli over many-body states with given total spin - the states built from spin and spatial wave functions belonging to multidimensional irreducible representations of the symmetric group, unless the total spin has the maximal allowed value. For spin-dependent one-body interactions with external fields and spin-independent two-body ones between the particles, the sum dependence on the many-body states is given by universal factors, which are independent of the interaction details and Hamiltonians of noninteracting particles. The sum rules are applied to perturbative analysis of energy spectra.
