It is shown that, contrary to widely held beliefs, the potentials of spin-density-functional theory (SDFT) are not unique functionals of the spin densities. Explicit tramples of distinct sets of potentials with the same ground-stale densities are constructed. These findings imply that the zero-temperature exchange-correlation energy is not always a differentiable functional of the spin density. As a consequence, various types of applications of SDFT must be critically reexamined.
