The virial theorem provides a relation between kinetic and potential energies for a large range of physical systems, and almost has the status of a conservation law. We investigate the fulfillment of the virial theorem for electronic structure calculations, in the framework of Density Functional Theory (DFT) both within the Local Density Approximation (LDA) and its Dynamical Mean Field Theory extension (LDA+DMFT). We demonstrate its validity for metals.
