Title: Important mathematical questions in density functional theory

Abstract: I will discuss density functional theory, the theory behind most modern electronic structure calculations in science today. Improvements in the approximations in current use can have enormous impact in many technological applications. I will discuss functional analysis, algorithmic development, and even optimal transport. But then I will focus on asymptotic analysis of density functionals, which is becoming increasingly important in the development of approximations. I will outline some formidable mathematical challenges, where any progress would be extremely useful.
