Homogeneous Electron Gas<br />

To see why ALDA fails one can look at <strong>the</strong> Fourier transform<br />

of <strong>the</strong> correlation hole for <strong>the</strong> homogeneous electron gas<br />

[M. Lein, E. K. U. Gross and J. P. Perdew, PRB 61 13431 (2000)]<br />

r s = 1 r s = 10<br />

The locality implies slow decay at large q = trouble<br />
