Scientific paper

Building upon an analytical technique introduced by Chung and Peschel [M. Chung and I. Peschel, Phys. Rev. B 64, art. 064412 (2001)], we calculated the density matrix rho_B of a finite block of B sites within an infinite system of free spinless fermions. In terms of the block Green function matrix G (whose elements are G_ij = < c_i^+ c_j>, where c_i^+ and c_j are fermion creation and annihilation operators acting on sites i and j within the block respectively), the density matrix can be written as rho_B = det(1 - G) exp[ sum_ij (log G(1 - G^{-1})_ij c_i^+ c_j]. Implications of such a result to Hilbert space truncation for real-space renormalization schemes is discussed.
