Ethnic and indegenous groups with spatial transient characteristic that live in modern countries can find themselves in a unique situation of an impounded space where on one hand they aspire to improve their condition and to integrate into the wide society, and on the other hand, they are debarred from this process due to various reasons. This situation compels them to live in substandard condi...

We compare the conductance of an interacting ring with six lattice sites threaded by flux π in a two terminal setup with the conductance of the corresponding Kohn-Sham particles. Based on symmetry considerations we can show that even within (lattice) Density Functional Theory employing the exact Kohn-Sham exchange-correlation functional the conductance of the Kohn-Sham particles is exactly zero...

We have carried out an analysis of singularities in Kohn variational calculations for low energy (e −H2) elastic scattering. Provided that a sufficiently accurate trial wavefunction is used, we argue that our implementation of the Kohn variational principle necessarily gives rise to singularities which are not spurious. We propose two approaches for optimizing a free parameter of the trial wave...

We prove extension results for meromorphic functions by combining the Kohn-Rossi extension theorems with Andreotti's theory on the algebraic and analytic dependence of meromorphic functions on pseudoconcave manifolds. Versions of Kohn-Rossi theorems for pseudo-convex domains are included.

Kohn and Luttinger showed that a many body system of fermions interacting via short range forces becomes superfluid even if the interaction is repulsive in all partial waves. In gauge theories such as QCD the interaction between fermions is long range and the assumptions of Kohn and Luttinger are not satisfied. We show that in a U(1) gauge theory the Kohn-Luttinger phenomenon does not take plac...

Time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) is rapidly emerging as a premier method for solving dynamical many-body problems in physics and chemistry. The mathematical foundations of TDDFT are established through the formal existence of a fictitious non-interacting system (known as the Kohn–Sham system), which can reproduce the one-electron reduced probability density of the actual system....
