Abstract
Exact expressions for the statistical sum of the grand canonical ensemble and the one-particle density matrix are derived based on the definition of the density matrix for a system of N identical noninteracting Bose particles in an oscillator potential as a sum with respect to the symmetric exchange of the density matrix coordinates of distinguishable particles. A quasi-classical scenario is analyzed in detail.
