We propose a model of ion-electron plasma (or nucleus-electron plasma) that accounts for the electronic structure around nuclei (i.e. ion structure) as well as for ion-ion correlations. The model equations are obtained through the…
Confinement of atoms inside impenetrable (hard) and penetrable (soft) cavities has been studied for nearly eight decades. However, a unified virial theorem for such systems has not yet been found. Here we provide a general virial-like…

In the relativistic uniform model for continuous medium the integral theorem of generalized virial is derived, in which generalized momenta are used as particles momenta. This allows us to find exact formulas for the radial component of the…
A single spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ particle obeys the Dirac equation in $d\ge 1$ spatial dimension and is bound by an attractive central monotone potential which vanishes at infinity (in one dimension the potential is even). This work refines the…
When studying Dirac operators, it is well known that the phenomenon of Zitterbewegung leads to a lack of convexity of the variance, which creates difficulties in the analysis of dispersive properties. In particular, standard virial methods…
