Stability of atoms in the Brown-Ravenhall model

Mathematical Physics 2012-04-06 v2 math.MP

Abstract

We consider the Brown--Ravenhall model of a relativistic atom with N electrons and a nucleus of charge Z and prove the existence of an infinite number of discrete eigenvalues for N <= Z. As an intermediate result we prove a HVZ-type theorem for these systems.
