It has long been postulated that within density-functional theory (DFT) the total energy of a finite electronic system is convex with respect to electron count, so that 2 E_v[N_0] <= E_v[N_0 - 1] + E_v[N_0 + 1]. Using the…

We establish a variational principle for properly mapping a fractional quantum Hall (FQH) state to a fractional Chern insulator (FCI). We find that the mapping has a gauge freedom which could generate a class of FCI ground state wave…
