We present a local density approximation (LDA) for one-dimensional (1D) systems interacting via the soft-Coulomb interaction based on quantum Monte-Carlo calculations. Results for the ground-state energies and ionization potentials of finite 1D systems show excellent agreement with exact calculations, obtained by exploiting the mapping of an $N$-electron system in $d$ dimensions, onto a single electron in $Ntimes d$ dimensions properly symmetrized by the Young diagrams. We conclude that 1D LDA is of the same quality as its three-dimensional (3D) counterpart, and we infer conclusions about 3D LDA. The linear and non-linear time-dependent responses of 1D model systems using LDA, exact exchange, and the exact solution are investigated and show very good agreement in both cases, except for the well known problem of missing double excitations. Consequently, the 3D LDA is expected to be of good quality beyond linear response. In addition, the 1D LDA should prove useful in modeling the interaction of atoms with strong laser fields, where this specific 1D model is often used.

We explore the electronic band structure of free standing monolayers of chromium trihalides, CrXtextsubscript{3}{, X= Cl, Br, I}, within an advanced emph{ab-initio} theoretical approach based in the use of Greens function functionals. We compare the
local density approximation with the quasi-particle self-consistent emph{GW} approximation (QSemph{GW}) and its self-consistent extension (QS$Gwidehat{W}$) by solving the particle-hole ladder Bethe-Salpeter equations to improve the effective interaction emph{W}. We show that at all levels of theory, the valence band consistently changes shape in the sequence Cl{textrightarrow}Br{textrightarrow}I, and the valence band maximum shifts from the M point to the $Gamma$ point. However, the details of the transition, the one-particle bandgap, and the eigenfunctions change considerably going up the ladder to higher levels of theory. The eigenfunctions become more directional, and at the M point there is a strong anisotropy in the effective mass. Also the dynamic and momentum dependent self energy shows that QS$Gwidehat{W}$ adds to the localization of the systems in comparison to the QSemph{GW} thereby leading to a narrower band and reduced amount of halogens in the valence band manifold.
We present a method to correct the magnetic properties of itinerant systems in local spin density approximation (LSDA) and we apply it to the ferromagnetic-paramagnetic transition under pressure in a typical itinerant system, Ni$_{3}$Al. We obtain a
scaling of the critical fluctuations as a function of pressure equivalent to the one obtained within Moryias theory. Moreover we show that in this material the role of the bandstructure is crucial in driving the transition. Finally we calculate the magnetic moment as a function of pressure, and find that it gives a scaling of the Curie temperature that is in good agreement with the experiment. The method can be easily extended to the antiferromagnetic case and applied, for instance, to the Fe-pnictides in order to correct the LSDA magnetic moment.
A novel approach to electronic correlations in magnetic crystals which takes into account a dynamical many-body effects is present. In order to to find a frequency dependence of the electron self energy, an effective quantum-impurity many-particle pr
oblem need to be solved within the dynamical mean-field theory. The numerically exact QMC-scheme and the spin-polarized fluctuation exchange approximation are used for the self-consistent solution of this single-site many-particle problem. The calculations of effective exchange interaction parameters based on the realistic electronic structure of correlated magnetic crystals have been discussed.
We outline a Kohn-Sham-Dirac density-functional-theory (DFT) scheme for graphene sheets that treats slowly-varying inhomogeneous external potentials and electron-electron interactions on an equal footing. The theory is able to account for the the unu
sual property that the exchange-correlation contribution to chemical potential increases with carrier density in graphene. Consequences of this property, and advantages and disadvantages of using the DFT approach to describe it, are discussed. The approach is illustrated by solving the Kohn-Sham-Dirac equations self-consistently for a model random potential describing charged point-like impurities located close to the graphene plane. The influence of electron-electron interactions on these non-linear screening calculations is discussed at length, in the light of recent experiments reporting evidence for the presence of electron-hole puddles in nearly-neutral graphene sheets.
Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory (TDDFT) has recently been extended to describe many-body open quantum systems (OQS) evolving under non-unitary dynamics according to a quantum master equation. In the master equation approach, electronic excit
ation spectra are broadened and shifted due to relaxation and dephasing of the electronic degrees of freedom by the surrounding environment. In this paper, we develop a formulation of TDDFT linear-response theory (LR-TDDFT) for many-body electronic systems evolving under a master equation, yielding broadened excitation spectra. This is done by mapping an interacting open quantum system onto a non-interacting open Kohn-Sham system yielding the correct non-equilibrium density evolution. A pseudo-eigenvalue equation analogous to the Casida equations of usual LR-TDDFT is derived for the Redfield master equation, yielding complex energies and Lamb shifts. As a simple demonstration, we calculate the spectrum of a C$^{2+}$ atom in an optical resonator interacting with a bath of photons. The performance of an adiabatic exchange-correlation kernel is analyzed and a first-order frequency-dependent correction to the bare Kohn-Sham linewidth based on Gorling-Levy perturbation theory is calculated.
