We address the problem of interacting electrons in an external potential by introducing the occupied spectral density $\rho(\mathbf{r},\omega)$ as fundamental variable. First, we formulate the problem using an embedding framework, and prove…
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…
