text: In other words, the wave function is either totally symmetric in the positions of bosons, or totally antisymmetric in the positions of fermions.
text: For N distinguishable particles (no two being identical, i.e. no two having the same set of quantum numbers), there is no requirement for the wave function to be either symmetric or antisymmetric.
text: For a collection of particles, some identical with coordinates r 1 , r 2 , ... and others distinguishable x 1 , x 2 , ... (not identical with each other, and not identical to the aforementioned identical particles), the wave function is symmetric or antisymmetric in the identical particle coordinates
