We study the properties of nuclear matter with lattice nucleon-nucleon ($NN$) potential in the relativistic Brueckner-Hartree-Fock (RBHF) theory. To use this potential in such a microscopic many-body theory, we firstly have to construct a…

A density functional theory for many-body lattice models is considered in which the single-particle density matrix is the basic variable. Eigenvalue equations are derived for solving Levy's constrained search of the interaction energy…

A detailed analysis of density-functional theory for quantum-electrodynamical model systems is provided. In particular, the quantum Rabi model, the Dicke model, and a generalization of the latter to multiple modes are considered. We prove a…

We showcase the advantages of orbital-free density-potential functional theory (DPFT), a more flexible variant of Hohenberg-Kohn density functional theory. DPFT resolves the usual trouble with the gradient-expanded kinetic energy functional…

In this chapter we first review the Levy-Lieb functional, which gives the lowest kinetic and interaction energy that can be reached with all possible quantum states having a given density. We discuss two possible convex generalizations of…

The Hohenberg-Kohn theorem of density functional theory (DFT) for the case of electrons interacting with an external magnetic field (that couples to spin only) is examined in more detail than previously. A unexpected generalization is…

Explicitly orbital-dependent approximations to the exchange-correlation energy functional of density functional theory typically not only depend on the single-particle Kohn-Sham orbitals but also on their occupation numbers in the ground…

We present a kinetic energy tensor that unifies a scalar kinetic energy density commonly used in meta-Generalized Gradient Approximation functionals and the vorticity density that appears in paramagnetic current-density-functional theory.…

Density functional theory is currently the most widely applied method in electronic structure theory. The Kohn-Sham method, based on a fictitious system of non-interacting particles, is the work horse of the theory. The particular form of…

Given a vector space of microscopic quantum observables, density functional theory is formulated on its dual space. A generalized Hohenberg-Kohn theorem and the existence of the universal energy functional in the dual space are proven. In…

We seek to obtain a usable form of the nuclear energy density functional that is rooted in the modern theory of nuclear forces. We thus consider a functional obtained from the density matrix expansion of local nuclear potentials from chiral…

The generalized constrained search formalism is used to address the issues concerning density-to-potential mapping for excited states in time-independent density-functional theory. The multiplicity of potentials for any given density and…

The Hohenberg-Kohn theorem of density-functional theory (DFT) is broadly considered the conceptual basis for a full characterization of an electronic system in its ground state by just the one-body particle density. Part I of this review…

The exchange-correlation energy in Kohn-Sham density functional theory is expressed as a functional of the electronic density and the Kohn-Sham orbitals. An alternative to Kohn-Sham theory is to express the energy as a functional of the…

Neutron drops confined in an external field are studied in the framework of relativistic Brueckner-Hartree-Fock theory using the bare nucleon-nucleon interaction. The ground state energies and radii of neutron drops with even numbers from…

Hubertus J. J. van Dam [Phys. Rev. A 93, 052512, 2016] claims that the one-particle reduced density matrix (1RDM) of an interacting system can be represented by means of a single-determinant wavefunction of fictitious non-interacting…

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…

Density functional theory is discussed in the context of one-particle systems. We show that the ground state density $\rho_0(x)$ and energy $E_0$ are simply related to a family of external potential energy functions with ground state wave…

The Energy Density Functional theory is one of the most used methods developed in nuclear structure. It is based on the assumption that the energy of the ground state is a functional only of the density profile. The method is extremely…

The Hohenberg-Kohn (HK) theorem -- the bedrock of density functional theory (DFT) -- establishes a universal map from the external potential to the energy. It also relates the electron density and atomic forces to the variation of the…
