Relativistic corrections of order $m\alpha^6$: singular operators and regularization

Atomic Physics 2026-01-28 v4

Abstract

The finite operators are derived for the nonrecoil (leading order in the (m/M)(m/M) expansion) relativistic corrections in hydrogen-like atoms and ions at orders mα6m\alpha^6 in the two- and three-body formalism beyond the adiabatic approximation. Singular operators that appear in the derivation are analysed, and various regularization methods are discussed.
