In Hohenberg and Kohn's paper on the inhomogeneous electron gas they express the Hamiltonian for "a collection of an arbitrary number of electrons moving under the influence of an external potential v(r)" as:
$$H=T+V+U$$
Where,
$$T = \frac{1}{2}\int \nabla \psi^*(\boldsymbol{r}) \nabla \psi(\boldsymbol{r})d\bf{\boldsymbol{r}}$$
$$V = \int v(\boldsymbol{r})\psi^*(\boldsymbol{r}) \psi(\boldsymbol{r})d\bf{\boldsymbol{r}}$$
$$U = \frac{1}{2}\int \frac{1}{\left|\boldsymbol{r-r'} \right|}\psi^*(\boldsymbol{r})\psi^*(\boldsymbol{r'}) \psi(\boldsymbol{r'})\psi(\boldsymbol{r})d\bf{\boldsymbol{r}}$$
I am having difficultly reconciling these expressions with what I would regard as the more standard expressions:
$$T=\left<\Psi|-\frac{1}{2}\sum_{i=1}^N\nabla_i^2|\Psi\right>$$
$$V= \left<\Psi|v(\boldsymbol{r})|\Psi\right>$$
$$U= \left<\Psi|\sum_{i<j}\frac{1}{\left|\boldsymbol{r_i}-\boldsymbol{r_j}\right|}|\Psi\right>$$
In particular, since the multi-body wavefunction is,
$$\Psi=\Psi(\boldsymbol{r_1,r_2,r_3,r_4,...})$$
I don't understand why they appear to be using a single particle wave function $\psi(\boldsymbol{r})$ in their Hamiltonian..
Also, they define the density as:
$$ n(\boldsymbol{r})=\left(\Psi,\psi^*(\boldsymbol{r})\psi(\boldsymbol{r})\Psi\right)$$
Instead of:
$$ n(\boldsymbol{r})= \left<\Psi|\sum_{i=1}^N\delta(\boldsymbol{r-r_i})|\Psi\right> $$
Where $\Psi$ is presumably their many body wavefunction, $\psi^*(r)\psi(r)$ appears to be replacing the density operator $\delta(r-r_i)$, and the enclosing parentheses presumably represent the inner product instead of <>.
I am not sure how to interpret these expressions.
