contents The Hohenberg-Kohn theorem of density-functional theory (DFT) is broadly considered the conceptual basis for a full characterization of an electronic system in its ground state by just the one-body particle density. In this Part~II of a series of two articles, we aim at clarifying the status of this theorem within different extensions of DFT including magnetic fields. We will in particular discuss current-density-functional theory (CDFT) and review the different formulations known in the literature, including the conventional paramagnetic CDFT and some non-standard alternatives. For the former, it is known that the Hohenberg-Kohn theorem is no longer valid due to counterexamples. Nonetheless, paramagnetic CDFT has the mathematical framework closest to standard DFT and, just like in standard DFT, non-differentiability of the density functional can be mitigated through Moreau-Yosida regularization. Interesting insights can be drawn from both Maxwell-Schrödinger DFT and quantum-electrodynamical DFT, which are also discussed here.
