A v0-representability issue in lattice ensemble-DFT and its signature in lattice TDDFT

Rössler, Thomas LU ; Verdozzi, Claudio LU and Almbladh, Carl-Olof LU (2018) In European Physical Journal B 91. p.1-8
Abstract
We study a small Anderson-impurity cluster using lattice density functional methods, and try to
determine the exact exchange-correlation (XC) potential via reverse engineering. In doing so we nd singlet{
triplet degenerate interacting ground states which cannot be v0-represented in an ensemble-DFT sense. We
also nd that it is possible to represent a triplet ground state as a pure state, but not the singlet. We further investigate this behavior within time-dependent density-functional theory. Starting from a v0-representableground state and entering the degeneracy region via a time-dependent perturbation, we determine via reverse-engineering the time-dependent XC potential for progressively slower perturbations. This analysis... (More)

Starting from a v0-representableground state and entering the degeneracy region via a time-dependent perturbation, we determine via reverse-engineering the time-dependent XC potential for progressively slower perturbations. This analysis shows that, even in a constant external eld, the XC potential must retain a time-oscillating pattern to ensure a density constant in time, a hint of the underlying representability issue in the ground state.
