The perturbation series for the statistical operators of quantum statistical mechanics developed earlier is applied to provide a perturbation theory for the grand canonical Gibbs states of a self‐interacting fermion system. Explicit formulas for an interaction Hamiltonian which is a polynomial in creation‐annihilation operators are provided.
