A density functional theory for general hard-core lattice gases

Abstract

We put forward a general procedure to obtain an approximate free energy density functional for any hard-core lattice gas, regardless of the shape of the particles, the underlying lattice or the dimension of the system. The procedure is conceptually very simple and recovers effortlessly previous results for some particular systems. Also, the obtained density functionals belong to the class of fundamental measure functionals and, therefore, are always consistent through dimensional reduction. We discuss possible extensions of this method to account for attractive lattice models.
