  The spin-polarized homogeneous electron gas with densities $\rho_\uparrow$
and $\rho_\downarrow$ for electrons with spin `up' ($\uparrow$) and spin `down'
($\downarrow$), respectively, is systematically analyzed with respect to its
lowest-order reduced densities and density matrices and their mutual relations.
The three 2-body reduced density matrices $\gamma_{\uparrow\uparrow}$,
$\gamma_{\downarrow\downarrow}$, $\gamma_a$ are 4-point functions for electron
pairs with spins $\uparrow\uparrow$, $\downarrow\downarrow$, and antiparallel,
respectively. From them, three functions $G_{\uparrow\uparrow}(x,y)$,
$G_{\downarrow\downarrow}(x,y)$, $G_a(x,y)$, depending on only two variables,
are derived. These functions contain not only the pair densities but also the
1-body reduced density matrices. The contraction properties of the 2-body
reduced density matrices lead to three sum rules to be obeyed by the three key
functions $G_{ss}$, $G_a$. These contraction sum rules contain corresponding
normalization sum rules as special cases. The momentum distributions
$n_\uparrow(k)$ and $n_\downarrow(k)$, following from $f_\uparrow(r)$ and
$f_\downarrow(r)$ by Fourier transform, are correctly normalized through
$f_s(0)=1$. In addition to the non-negativity conditions
$n_s(k),g_{ss}(r),g_a(r)\geq 0$ [these quantities are probabilities], it holds
$n_s(k)\leq 1$ and $g_{ss}(0)=0$ due to the Pauli principle and $g_a(0)\leq 1$
due to the Coulomb repulsion. Recent parametrizations of the pair densities of
the spin-unpolarized homogeneous electron gas in terms of 2-body wave functions
(geminals) and corresponding occupancies are generalized (i) to the
spin-polarized case and (ii) to the 2-body reduced density matrix giving thus
its spectral resolutions.
