This lecture covers the Hohenberg-Kohn Theorems, explaining how the ground state energy of a system is a unique functional of the electron density, and how the total energy is minimal for the ground state density. It also discusses electron density distributions and the variational principle. The instructor presents examples and challenges students with a quiz on expressing different energy terms in terms of electron density.
