Question: 5. Compute the density matrix and the partition function for a system of N free particles in a box of volume V using the unsymmetrized

5. Compute the density matrix and the partition function for a system of N free particles in a box of volume V using the unsymmetrized "Boltzmannian" wave function in the position basis. Show that one obtains neither the Gibbs' correction factor (1/N!) nor a spatial correlation among the particles. (Hint: Adapt the arguments of Pathria Section 5.5 to the unsymmetrized case.)
