Orbitally stable states in generalized Hartree-Fock theory

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

This paper is devoted to a generalized Hartree-Fock model in the Euclidean space. For large classes of free energy functionals, minimizers are obtained as long as the total charge of the system does not exceed a threshold which depends on a parameter that we call the temperature in analogy with models based on a thermodynamical approach. The usual Hartree-Fock model is recovered in the zero temperature limit. An orbital stability result for the Cauchy problem is deduced from the variational approach.
