Abstract
The distribution of noncollinear magnetism in an electronic system provides information about the kinetic energy as well as some kinetic energy densities. Two different everywhere-positive kinetic densities related to the Schr\"odinger--Pauli Hamiltonian are considered. For one-electron systems described by a single Pauli spinor, the electron density, spin density and current density completely determines these kinetic energy densities. For many-electron systems, lower bounds on the kinetic energy densities are proved. These results generalize a lower bound due to von Weizs\"acker, which is based on the electron density alone and plays an important role in density functional theory. The results have applications in extensions of density functional theory that incorporate noncollinear spin densities and current densities.
