We propose approximations which go beyond the local density approximation for the short-range exchange and correlation density functionals appearing in a multi-determinantal extension of the Kohn-Sham scheme. A first approximation consists…
We consider the family of non-local and non-convex functionals introduced by H. Brezis and H.-M. Nguyen in a recent paper. These functionals Gamma-converge to a multiple of the Sobolev norm or the total variation, depending on a summability…
As discovered in the quantum Hall effect, a very effective way for strongly-repulsive electrons to minimize their potential energy is to aquire non-zero relative angular momentum. We pursue this mechanism for interacting two-dimensional…
Comment [arXiv:cond-mat.stat.mech., 1602.02087v1 (2016)] has raised questions claiming that the nonlocal model Hamiltonian presented in [Phys. Rev. E 92, 012123 (2015)] is equivalent to the standard (short-ranged) \Phi^4 theory. These…
We consider the inviscid Leray-$\alpha$ equations - an inviscid nonlocal regularisation of the Euler equations. In the first part, we prove the convergence of strong solutions of the Leray-$\alpha$ equations to strong solutions of the Euler…
We consider (locally) energy finite coordinates associated with a strongly local regular Dirichlet form on a metric measure space. We give coordinate formulas for substitutes of tangent spaces, for gradient and divergence operators and for…
Despite a long history of Nernst effect in superconductors, a satisfactory theory on its amplitude in vortex liquid phase is still absent. The central quantity of vortex Nernst signals is the entropy $s_{\phi}$ carried by each vortex. Here…
We study a variational Ginzburg-Landau type model depending on a small parameter $\epsilon>0$ for (tangent) vector fields on a $2$-dimensional Riemannian surface. As $\epsilon\to 0$, the vector fields tend to be of unit length and will have…
We study a variational model from micromagnetics involving a nonlocal Ginzburg-Landau type energy for S^1-valued vector fields. These vector fields form domain walls, called Neel walls, that correspond to one-dimensional transitions between…
We propose a nonlocal theory of single-particle excitations. It is based on an off-diagonal effective medium and the projection operator method for treating the retarded Green function. The theory determines the nonlocal effective medium…
The construction of density-functional approximations is explored by modeling the adiabatic connection em locally, using energy densities defined in terms of the electrostatic potential of the exchange-correlation hole. These local models…
We consider $N$ point vortices $s_j$ of strengths $\kappa_j$ moving on a closed (compact, boundaryless, orientable) surface $S$ with riemannian metric $g$. As far as we know, only the sphere or surfaces of revolution, the latter…
A variational calculation for vortex penetration is presented. Variational trial functions for the Meissner state are combined with variational functions for a vortex near the surface. The latter is based on Clem's trial solutions for a…
We introduce a large class of concentrated $p$-L\'{e}vy integrable functions approximating the unity, which serves as the core tool from which we provide a nonlocal characterization of Sobolev spaces and the space of functions of bounded…
We discuss energy densities in the strong-interaction limit of density functional theory, deriving an exact expression within the definition (gauge) of the electrostatic potential of the exchange-correlation hole. Exact results for small…
Employing a local formula for the electron-electron interaction energy, we derive a self-consistent approximation for the total energy of a general $N$-electron system. Our scheme works as a local variant of the Thomas-Fermi approximation…
A high-throughput benchmarking technique for testing the performance of different exchange-correlation functionals and pseudopotentials is proposed and applied to bulk SnS. It is shown that, contrary to the popular view that the local…
We develop a general approach, using local interpolation inequalities, to non-convex integral functionals depending on the gradient with a singular perturbation by derivatives of order $k\ge 2$. When applied to functionals giving rise to…
It has been known for some time that the exchange-correlation potential in time-dependent density functional theory is an intrinsically nonlocal functional of the density as soon as one goes beyond the adiabatic approximation. In this paper…
We present an accurate local density-functional for electronic-structure calculations within the density functional theory (DFT). The functional is derived by analyzing the structure of the standard perturbative expansion of the correlation…
