• Abstract: The nonrelativistic reduction of the self-consistent covariant density functional theory is realized for the first time with the similarity renormalization group (SRG) method. The reduced nonrelativistic Hamiltonian and densities are calculated by solving the corresponding flow equations with a novel expansion in terms of the inverse of the Dirac effective mass. The efficiency and accuracy of this newly proposed framework have been demonstrated for several typical spherical nuclei. It is found that the exact solutions of the total energies, traces of vector and scalar densities, and the root-mean-square radii are reproduced quite well for all nuclei. This allows one to directly compare and bridge the relativistic and nonrelativistic nuclear energy density functional theories in the future.

  We propose a novel non-parametric learning paradigm for the identification of drift and diffusion coefficients of non-linear differential equations. The key idea essentially consists of fitting a RKHS-based approximation of the corresponding Fokker-Planck equation to such observations.

Our unified approach achieves a distribution-free distance to the truth of over 20 times less than non-latent state-of-the-art baseline.

• Relativistic reduced density matrix functional theory [0.0]
  We propose to consider reduced density matrix functional theory, where the key quantity is the first-order reduced density matrix (1-RDM) Within the np approximation the theory becomes similar to the nonrelativistic case, with as unknown only the functional that describes the electron-electron interactions in terms of the 1-RDM. This requires the construction of functional approximations, and we therefore also present the relativistic versions of some common RDMFT approximations.

  A relativistic density-functional theory based on a Fock-space effective quantum-electrodynamics (QED) Hamiltonian is developed. A Kohn-Sham scheme is formulated in a quite similar way to non-relativistic density-functional theory. The usual no-pair Kohn-Sham scheme is obtained as a well-defined approximation to this relativistic density-functional theory.
