Hohenberg-Kohn Theorems P.Hohenberg,W.Kohn,Phys.Rev.136,B 864 (1964) The electronic Hamiltonian is A=T++=-∑+∑+ i p(r) where the external potential is r)=-∑24 ∫p(rdr2N Ai T Ai First HK Theorem (HK1) N v(r) The external potential Vx(r)is (to within a constant)a unique functional of p(r). Since,in turn Vext(r)fixes H,the full many particle ground state is a uniquefunctional of p(r). A Thus,the electron density uniquely determines the Hamiltonian operator and thus all the properties of the system.
