Why many-electron problem is tough; T=0 K Variational Principle
Guessing a 2-RDM and using it in the variational principle doesn’t work either.
This is the notorious N-representability problem: How can we know (NASC) that
a trial 2-RDM comes from a Ne -Fermion wave function? The answer is known
but using it is essentially as intractable as using the many-electron wave function.

HK-I: “A given ground state density n0 (r) determines the ground state
wave function and hence all the ground state properties of an Ne -electron system.”
Original Proof: by contradiction [P. Hohenberg and W. Kohn, Phys. Rev. 136,
B864 (1964)
Modern Proof: Levy-Lieb constrained search (sequential application of the
Variational Principle, density by density)
[M. Levy, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 76, 6062 (1979); L. Lieb, Internat. J. Quantum Chem.

3. But the argument can be done reversing primed and unprimed quantities.
This gives
0 0 ext extd n v v r r r r
4. Adding these last two results gives the contradiction 0 0 0 0
5. Therefore the ground state density determines the external potential and
hence, the ground state wave function.
Remark: this proof does not address the possibility of a density n which is
not associated with any vext (the v-representability problem)

over them first. Then vary the density. The variational expression becomes

Remarks: No v-representability problem, no restriction to non-degenerate
ground states. We have not shown that, subject to mild conditions, every density
is associated with at least one Ne electron state. In fact, there are infinitely many
such states for each density (Harriman, Phys. Rev. A 24, 680 (1981)).

Remark: This F[n] , the Levy functional, is NOT the same mathematical object as the
one originally defined by HK. In particular, there is no v-representability issue with
regard to the variation over n nor any restriction to non-degenerate ground state. This
functional does fulfill the role of the one defined by HK. It has its own problems
however. It is not convex and has some unpleasant functional derivative problems. For
most purposes, the Levy functional is good enough. See Lieb (1983).

The big challenge: HK-II says that F[n] exists but does not give a form that can
be used to do the variational problem just displayed.

• Implicit temperature dependence of ground-state Exc[n] used at finite T. Is Fxc [n, T]≈ Exc[n(T)] good enough?
• Same question for ground state OF-KE functionals: Ts[n,T] ≈ Ts[n(T)]?
• Orbital-free free-energy functionals in WDM regime -
Functional forms for tS [n, T] , sS [n,T] , uxc [n,T]?
Accurate ground-state limiting forms?

There are “order-N” approximate methods but they are not general

The Ideal - Orbital-free DFT
With the K-S density kernels ts, sS and a good density-dependent (NOT orbital-dependent) FXC , DFT B-O forces would be simple:
Even at T=0, there are many well-known barriers to
getting ts , e.g., Teller non-binding theorem for Thomas-
Fermi-Dirac, failures of TF-von Weizsäcker, ….

Orbital-free KE Approaches – Response Function
Result is a set of non-local (two-point) approximations based on Average
Density Approximation, Weighted Density approximation, etc.
Various versions work moderately well for metals.
Another recent version works moderately well for insulators.
The non-locality is too complicated (computationally costly, introduces local
pseudo-potentials) for our purposes

• Goal: a workable recipe for a one-point ts[n] purely for driving MD. Remember
the ground state formulation:
Orbital-free Density Functional Theory: Single-Point Strategy
• Obviously need analogous progress for T > 0 K: tS [n, T] , sS [n,T] , uxc [n,T]
• Observe: we do NOT seek a KE density kernel that will do everything that is in
the basic DFT theorems
• Assumption: continued progress on pure EXC approximations, i.e., not
hybrids or OEP (optimized effective potential).
QTP
• Desired: ts[n(r)] be no more complicated than GGA EXC (depends on gradient of
the density) or meta-GGA (depends on Laplacian of the density also).
• Key Ingredient - Pauli KE, Pauli potential, and square root of density [M. Levy
and H. Ou-Yang, Phys. Rev. B 38, 625 (1988); A. Holas and N.H. March, Phys. Rev. A 44, 5521 (1991);
