We devise a nonlocal correlation energy functional that describes the entire range of dispersion interactions in a seamless fashion using only the electron density as input. The new functional is considerably simpler than its predecessors…
Electron-electron correlation forms the basis of difficulties encountered in many-body problems. Accurate treatment of the correlation problem is likely to unravel some nice physical properties of matter embedded in this correlation. In an…
Interpolating the exchange-correlation energy along the density-fixed adiabatic connection of density functional theory is a promising way to build approximations that are not biased towards the weakly correlated regime. These…
We study consequences of gauge invariance and charge conservation of an electron gas in a strong random potential perturbed by a weak electromagnetic field. We use quantum equations of motion and Ward identities for one- and two-particle…
We present a general multi-component density functional theory in which electrons and nuclei are treated completely quantum mechanically, without the use of a Born-Oppenheimer approximation. The two fundamental quantities in terms of which…
Density functionals with a range-separated treatment of the exchange energy are known to improve upon their semilocal forerunners and fixed-fraction hybrids. The conversion of a given semilocal functional into its short-range analog is not…
We investigate the ground-state properties of two-component Bose gases confined in one-dimensional harmonic traps in the scheme of density-functional theory. The density-functional calculations employ a Bethe-ansatz-based local-density…
We find that the spin susceptibility of a two-dimensional electron system with valley degeneracy does not grow critically at low densities, at variance with experimental results [A. Shashkin et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 96, 036403 (2006)]. We…
We fit finite-temperature path integral Monte Carlo calculations of the exchange-correlation energy of the 3D finite-temperature homogeneous electron gas in the warm-dense regime (r_{s} = (3/4\pi n)^{1/3} a_{B}^{-1} < 40 and \Theta =…
Local and semilocal density-functional approximations for the exchange-correlation energy fail badly in the zero-thickness limit of a quasi-two-dimensional electron gas, where the density variation is rapid almost everywhere. Here we show…
We derive an exact result for the averaged Feynman propagator and the corresponding density of states of an electron in two dimensions in a perpendicular homogeneous magnetic field and a Gaussian random potential with long-range spatial…
The electron self-energy for long-range Coulomb interactions plays a crucial role in understanding the many-body physics of interacting electron systems (e.g. in metals and semiconductors), and has been studied extensively for decades. In…
The dielectric formalism is used to set up an approximate description of a spatially homogeneous weakly interacting Bose gas in the collision-less regime, which is both conserving and gap-less, and has coinciding poles of the…
In principle, many-electron correlation energy can be precisely computed from a reduced Wigner distribution function ($\mathcal{W}$) thanks to a universal functional transformation ($\mathcal{F}$), whose formal existence is akin to that of…
A simple approximation which captures some non-perturbative aspects of the one electron Green function of strongly interacting Fermion systems is developed. It provides a way to go one step beyond the usual dilute limit since…

We study the accuracy of analytical wave function based many-body methods derived by energy minimization of a Jastrow-Feenberg ansatz for electrons (`Fermi hypernetted chain / Euler Lagrange' approach). Approximations to avoid the…
We report an analytical representation of the correlation energy ec(rs, zeta) for a uniform electron gas (UEG), where rs is the Seitz radius or density parameter and zeta is the relative spin polarization. The new functional, called W20, is…
The dependence of the three lowest order spatial correlation functions of a harmonically confined Bose gas on temperature and interaction strength is presented at equilibrium. Our analysis is based on a stochastic Langevin equation for the…
Electron density and electron momentum density, while independently tractable experimentally, bear no direct connection without going through the many-electron wave function. However, invoking a variant of the constrained-search formulation…
