Description
The Strictly-Correlated Electrons (SCE) is a formalism of Density-Functional Theory (DFT) used to approximate ground-state energies of strongly-correlated quantum systems. From a mathematical viewpoint, it is obtained as the semi-classical limit of the Levy-Lieb functional, which is one of the central objects to DFT. I will present this problem, which arises as a multimarginal optimal transport of a special kind, and present a recent result of mine on the dissociation at infinity of such systems, reminiscent of the ionisation conjecture in quantum physics.
