Integral-geometrical consideration of density matrices
The ensemble N-representability problem for the k-th order reduced density matrix (k-RDM) as well as the problem of reconstruction of the N-particle system density matrices (N-DM) from a given k-RDM are studied. The spatial parts of the k-RDM expansion in terms of spin tensorial operators {Theta}{sub {lambda}} are represented using particular values (at specially chosen {Xi} = {Xi}{sub o}) of the Radon transform D{sub N{lambda}} D{sub N{lambda}}({Xi}) of the N-DM spatial parts (or their sums) D{sub N{lambda}}({chi}{prime}{vert_bar}{chi}{double_prime}) (here, {Xi} is a d-plane in the n-space {Re}{double_prime} of {chi} = ({chi}{prime}, {chi}{double_prime}), with n = 6N, d = 3(N - k), {chi}{p…
An attempt to realise the constrained search approach in the density functional theory
Abstract The problem of reconstruction of wave functions from a given electron density is considered. A reformulation of the problem is proposed which is based on the Fourier transform. Arising mathematical problems are studied, namely, the properties of reduced spatial densities and their Fourier images are obtained, which follow from known properties of the wave functions. The proposed approach may provide a practical implementation of the Constrained Search Approach to the DFT.
Explicit expressions for totally symmetric spherical functions and symmetry-dependent properties of multipoles
Closed expressions for matrix elements 〈 lm' | A (G)| lm 〉, where | lm 〉 are spherical functions and A (G) is the average of all symmetry operators of point group G, are derived for all point groups (PGs) and then used to obtain linear combinations of spherical functions that are totally symmetric under all symmetry operations of G. In the derivation, we exploit the product structure of the groups. The obtained expressions are used to explore properties of multipoles of symmetric charge distributions. We produce complete lists of selection rules for multipoles Q l and their moments Q lm , as well as of numbers of independent moments in a multipole, for any l and m and for all PGs. Periodic…
