Abstract

It is proved that euclidean invariant states describing crystals are not weakly clustering or equivalently that these states exhibit long range order. Further it is shown that a decomposition of an euclidean invariant state into states all of which are invariant for one specific space group, does not yield states with lattice symmetry.
