It is a hard and important problem to find the criterion of a set of positive-definite matrices which can be written as reduced density operators of a multipartite global quantum state. This problem is closely related to the study of many-body quantum entanglement, which is one of the focuses of current quantum-information theory. We give several results on the necessary compatibility relations between a set of reduced and global density matrices, including (i) compatibility conditions for the one-party reduced density matrices of any $({N}_{A}\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{N}_{B})$-dimensional bipartite mixed quantum state, (ii) compatibility conditions for the one-party reduced matrices of any
M-partite quantum states with the dimension ${N}^{\ensuremath{\bigotimes}M}$, and (iii) compatibility conditions for the two-party reduced density matrixes of $(2\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}2\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}2)$-dimensional tripartite mixed quantum state.
To find the criterion of a set of positive-definite matrices which can be written as reduced density matrices of a multipartite matrix is a hard and important problem. When the problem is concerned with multiparty density matrices, it is much more significant for computational many-body physics and many-body quantum entanglement which is one of the focuses of current quantum information theory. We give several results on the necessary compatibility relations between a set of two-party reduced density matrices and a global state in Hilbert space ${N}_{A}\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{N}_{B}\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{N}_{C}$ where
NA,
NB, and
NC are arbitrary.
