The density functional theory is used to study the electronic structure of a quantum wire in a magnetic field. The Kohn-Sham equations are solved numerically for different values of electron densities and filling factors. The critical…

We prove that the electron density function of a real physical system can be uniquely determined by its values on any finite subsystem. This establishes the existence of a rigorous density-functional theory for any open electronic system.…

Due to the large value of the scattering length in nuclear systems, standard density--functional theories based on effective interactions usually fail to reproduce the nuclear Fermi liquid behavior both at very low densities and close to…

The Weyl-Wigner representation of quantum mechanics allows one to map the density operator in a function in phase space - the Wigner function - which acts like a probability distribution. In the context of statistical mechanics, this…

Force fields are usually formulated directly in nuclear configuration space, whereas density functional theory is naturally formulated in terms of external potentials, densities, and variational duality. We show that exact force fields are…

A density functional theory for a macroion suspension is examined, where the excess free energy corresponds to the macroion self energy arising from the polarisation of the supporting electrolyte solution. This is treated within a…

The conventional Wigner function is inappropriate in a quantum field theory setting because, as a quasiprobability density over phase space, it is not manifestly Lorentz covariant. A manifestly relativistic variant is constructed as a…

At the basis of much of computational chemistry is density functional theory, as initiated by the Hohenberg-Kohn theorem. The theorem states that, when nuclei are fixed, nuclear potentials are determined by $1$-electron densities. We recast…
