Van Leeuwen's extended Runge–Gross conjecture for interaction replacement

At least 9 years old · documented by

Let a system with initial wave function ψ0\psi_0 evolve under interaction potential ww and external potential vv. For a different interaction potential w′w', there should be a unique external potential v′v' and initial wave function ψ0′\psi'_0 such that the new system reproduces exactly the same density nn. Assume that nn is time-analytic and sufficiently smooth in space. The extended Runge–Gross conjecture. Such a choice of v′v' and ψ0′\psi'_0 is possible and unique. This is the proposed affirmative answer to non-interacting vv-representability and underlies the Kohn–Sham construction; the source notes that its proof is formal and that further mathematical work on the relevant domains was needed.
