Abstract

We review the collaboration that led to the first rigorous proof of the stability of the hydrogen molecule within quantum mechanics and discuss several related issues concerning few-charge systems. Particular emphasis is placed on the role of symmetry breaking, the stability domains of Coulombic few-body systems, and some applications to exotic hadrons in the quark model.
