Hohenberg-Kohn Theorem
• Two systems with the same number Ne of electrons have the same Te + Vee. Hence, they are distinguished only by Ven.
• Knowledge of |Ψ0> determines Ven.
• Let be the set of external potentials such solution of
yields a non=degenerate ground state |Ψ0>.
Collect all such ground state wavefunctions into a set Ψ. Each element of this set is associated with a Hamiltonian determined by the external potential.
There exists a 1:1 mapping C such that

Let be the set of ground state densities obtained from Ne-electron groundstate wavefunctions in Ψ. Then, there exists a 1:1 mapping

The Kohn-Sham Formulation
Central assertion of KS formulation: Consider a system of Ne Non-interacting electrons subject to an “external” potential VKS. ItIs possible to choose this potential such that the ground state density Of the non-interacting system is the same as that of an interacting System subject to a particular external potential Vext.
A non-interacting system is separable and, therefore, described by a setof single-particle orbitals ψi(r,s), i=1,…,Ne, such that the wave function isgiven by a Slater determinant:

Lecture Summary
• Density functional theory is an exact reformulation of many-body
quantum mechanics in terms of the probability density rather than
the wave function
• The ground-state energy can be obtained by minimization of the
energy functional E[n]. All we know about the functional is that
it exists, however, its form is unknown.
• Kohn-Sham reformulation in terms of single-particle orbitals helps
in the development of approximations and is the form used in
current density functional calculations today.
