A simple exact-exchange density-functional method for a quasi-two-dimensional electron gas with variable density is presented. An analytical expression for the exact-exchange potential with only one occupied subband is provided, without approximations. When more subbands are occupied the exact-exchange potential is obtained numerically. The theory shows that, in contradiction with LDA, the exact-exchange potential exhibits discontinuities and the system suffers a zero-temperature first-order transition each time a subband is occupied. Results suggesting that the translational symmetry might be spontaneously broken at zero temperature are presented. An extension of the theory to finite temperatures allows to describe a drop in the intersubband spacing in good quantitative agreement with recent experiments.
