• Authors: Neil Qiang Su
• Abstract summary: This work presents a theory to unify the two independent theoretical frameworks of Kohn-Sham (KS) density functional theory (DFT) and reduced density matrix functional theory (RDMFT) The generalization of the KS orbitals to hypercomplex number systems leads to the hypercomplex KS (HCKS) theory, which extends the search space for the density in KS-DFT to a space that is equivalent to natural spin orbitals with fractional occupations in RDMFT.

• Abstract: This work presents a theory to unify the two independent theoretical frameworks of Kohn-Sham (KS) density functional theory (DFT) and reduced density matrix functional theory (RDMFT). The generalization of the KS orbitals to hypercomplex number systems leads to the hypercomplex KS (HCKS) theory, which extends the search space for the density in KS-DFT to a space that is equivalent to natural spin orbitals with fractional occupations in RDMFT. Thereby, HCKS is able to capture the multi-reference nature of strong correlation by dynamically varying fractional occupations. Moreover, the potential of HCKS to overcome the fundamental limitations of KS is verified on systems with strong correlation, including atoms of transition metals. As a promising alternative to the realization of DFT, HCKS opens up new possibilities for the development and application of DFT in the future.

  Density functional theory (DFT) fails to describe accurately the electronic structure of strongly correlated systems. We show that DFT can be transformed into a one-electron reduced-density-matrix (1-RDM) functional theory. Our approach yields substantial improvements over traditional DFT in the description of static correlation in chemical structures and processes.

• Exposing minimal composition of Kohn-Sham theory and its extendability [0.0]
  The Kohn-Sham (KS) theory has provided a practical tool to implement calculations of ground-state energies and densities in many-electron systems. There have been attempts to extend the KS theory so that it could describe other physical quantities, or it could be applied to other many-fermion systems. By generalizing and reformulating the KS theory in terms of the 1-body density matrix, we expose the minimal composition of the theory that enables the reduction of the many-fermion problem to the s.p. equations.
