We prove the strong unique continuation property for many-body Schrödinger operators with an external potential and an interaction potential both in Llocp(ℝd)$L^{p}_{\text {loc}}(\mathbb {R}^{d})$, where p > 2 if d = 3 and p=max(2d/3,2)${p = \max (2d/3,2)}$ otherwise, independently of the number of particles. With the same assumptions, we obtain the Hohenberg-Kohn theorem, which is one of the most fundamental results in Density Functional Theory.
