The relationship between the densities of ground-state wave functions (i.e., the minimizers of the Rayleigh--Ritz (RR) variation principle) and the ground-state densities in density-functional theory (i.e., the minimizers of the…
Current-density-functional theory is used to calculate ionization energies of current-carrying atomic states. A perturbative approximation to full current-density-functional theory is implemented for the first time, and found to be…
Current-carrying and superconducting systems can be treated within density-functional theory if suitable additional density variables (the current density and the superconducting order parameter, respectively) are included in the…
We calculate the exact Kohn-Sham (KS) scalar and vector potentials that reproduce, within current-density functional theory, the steady-state density and current density corresponding to an electron quasiparticle added to the ground state…

We present an alternative to the Kohn-Sham formulation of density functional theory for the ground-state properties of strongly interacting electronic systems. The idea is to start from the limit of zero kinetic energy and systematically…
We show that the particle density, $\rho(\mathbf{r})$, and the paramagnetic current density, $\mathbf{j}^{p}(\mathbf{r})$, are not sufficient to determine the set of degenerate ground-state wave functions. This is a general feature of…
