Abstract
We prove Hohenberg-Kohn theorems for several models of quantum mechanics. First, we show that the pair correlation function of any ground state contains the information of the interactions and of the external potentials. Then, in the presence of the Zeeman interaction, a strong constraint on external fields is derived for systems having the same ground state densities and magnetizations. Moreover, we provide a counterexample in a setting involving non-local potentials. Next, we prove that the density and the entropy of a ground state contain the information of both the imposed external potential and temperature. Eventually, we conclude that at positive temperature, Hohenberg-Kohn theorems generically hold.
