Thermodynamic Limits of Electronic Systems

Abstract

We review thermodynamic limits and scaling limits of electronic structure models for condensed matter. We discuss several mathematical ways to implement these limits in three models of increasing chemical complexity and mathematical difficulty: (1) Thomas-Fermi like models; (2) Hartree-Fock like models; and (3) Kohn-Sham density functional theory models.
