Abstract
Starting from many-body perturbation theory we have constructed a new variational expression for the total energy of many-electron systems. This expression is a functional of two independent variables, the one-electron Green function and the screened Coulomb interaction. The new functional as well as a much older variational expression by Luttinger and Ward (LW) are tested on the interacting electron gas. Both functionals yield extraordinary accurate total energies although the new functional requires a much cruder input and is therefore easier to apply to more realistic systems.
