Uniqueness conjecture for the no-spin Hartree–Fock minimisation problem
Uniqueness conjecture for the no-spin Hartree–Fock minimisation problem
Let be a positive radial non-increasing function. For density and temperature , let denote the no-spin Hartree–Fock minimisation problem. Uniqueness for the no-spin problem. The minimisation problem admits a unique minimiser for every . This conjecture would rule out non-uniqueness at fixed density in the no-spin model, although non-uniqueness at fixed chemical potential may still occur and is relevant to possible spin-symmetry breaking.
