The forces of symmetry and the physical meaning of the Pauli exclusion principle

摘要

A mathematically strict analysis of the consequences of the requirement of wave function antisymmetry is presented. It is shown that the probability density for symmetric electron configurations is zero, i.e., these electron configurations in atoms are inaccessible owing to the action of fundamental forces termed by the author "the forces of symmetry". As a consequence, a fundamentally new, in computational aspect, quantum chemistry can be developed. A previously reported hypothesis that forbids two electrons with the same spins to have equal potentials is confirmed.
