We consider density matrices which are sums of projectors on states spanning irreducible representations of the permutation group of L sites (eigenstates of permutational invariant quantum system with L sites) and construct the reduced density matrix (RDM) for blocks of size n<L by tracing out L-n sites, viewed as environment. Explicit analytic expressions of the elements of the RDM are given in the natural basis and the corresponding spectrum is derived. Results apply to all quantum many-body systems with permutational symmetry for which the mean field theory is exact.
