The k-particle reduced density matrices γ k for a singlet state or a spin-orientation averaged ensemble are invariant under the spin rotation group SU(2), i.e. they are independent of spin, even if they are expressed in terms of spin orbitals. The γ k contain the same information as their spinfree counterparts Γ k expressed in terms of spinfree orbitals. However, the relation between the two quantities is, by no means, elementary. The summation over spin is particularly demanding and surprisingly complicated for the k-particle density cumulants λ k and for the formulation of a generalised normal ordering with respect to an arbitrary reference state, including the generalised Wick theorem. Plausible extrapolations from small k turned out to be unjustified and some published expressions for k = 4 need to be revised. A compact general result, valid for all k has not yet been found.
