The cosmic censorship hypothesis, introduced by Penrose forty years ago, is one of the corner stones of general relativity. This conjecture asserts that spacetime singularities that arise in gravitational collapse are always hidden inside…
In this paper we study the large-Z behaviour of the ground state energy of atoms with electrons having relativistic kinetic energy sqrt(p^2c^2+m^2c^4)-mc^2. We prove that to leading order in Z the energy is the same as in the…
The magnetic extension of the Thomas-Fermi-Weizs\"acker kinetic energy is used within density-functional-theory to numerically obtain the ground state densities and energies of two-dimensional quantum dots. The results are thoroughly…
The Thomas-Fermi approximation is a powerful method that has been widely used to describe atomic structures, finite nuclei, and nonuniform matter in supernovae and neutron-star crusts. Nonuniform nuclear matter at subnuclear density is…
We give a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of molecules in M\"uller theory. Furthermore, we show that if a system is stable in Born-Oppenheimer approximation, then the bound on the positive excess charge $ Z-N \le…
Simple, separable, unital, monotracial and nuclear C$^*$-algebras are shown to have finite nuclear dimension whenever they absorb the Jiang-Su algebra $\mathcal{Z}$ tensorially. This completes the proof of the Toms-Winter conjecture in the…
The recent formulation of the relativistic Thomas-Fermi model within the Feynman-Metropolis-Teller theory for compressed atoms is applied to the study of general relativistic white dwarf equilibrium configurations. The equation of state,…
Using the Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin method, we derive a modified form of the Thomas-Fermi approximation to electron density. This new result enables us to calculate the details of the self-consistent ion cores, as well as the ionization…
In spite of the success of the Bethe-Weizs\"acker mass formula in its modern numerical and predictive implementations, the common-knowledge principle that it is electrostatics which, ultimately, favors neutron-rich nuclei still presents…
A linear relation for charged-particle emissions is presented starting from the microscopic mechanism of the radioactive decay. It relates the logarithms of the decay half-lives with two variables, called $\chi'$ and $\rho'$, which depend…
A simple and computationally efficient scheme to calculate approximate imaginary-frequency dependent polarizability, hence asymptotic van der Waals coefficient, within density functional theory is proposed. The dynamical dipolar…
We prove that the ground state energy of an atom confined to two dimensions with an infinitely heavy nucleus of charge $Z>0$ and $N$ quantum electrons of charge -1 is $E(N,Z)=-{1/2}Z^2\ln Z+(E^{\TF}(\lambda)+{1/2}c^{\rm H})Z^2+o(Z^2)$ when…
Radii of nuclear charge distributions carry information about the strong and electromagnetic forces acting inside the atomic nucleus. While the global behavior of nuclear charge radii is governed by the bulk properties of nuclear matter,…
The "catastrophe" in solving the Dirac equation for an electron in the field of a point electric charge, which emerges for the charge numbers Z > 137, is removed in this work by effective accounting of finite dimensions of nuclei. For this…
This article concerns the description of the electron sea of an atomic ion with the Thomas-Fermi model. The normalized ion radius $X$, ionization potential $b$ and electronic binding energy $B$ of the Thomas-Fermi ion are functions of the…
The self-consistent Thomas-Fermi approximation is an essential method for studying the non-uniform nuclear matter with relativistic mean-field theory. In this method, the nucleon distribution in the Wigner-Seitz cell is obtained…
We evaluate the electron emission current density from jellium metallic surfaces in the Thomas-Fermi-von-Weizs\"acker approximation. We implement the weighted density approximation (WDA) for description of the exchange and correlation…
It is well known that the ultra-relativistic Thomas-Fermi equation, amply adopted in the study of heavy nuclei, admits an exact solution for a constant proton distribution within a spherical core of radius Rc. Here exact solutions of a…
We try to improve the Thomas-Fermi model for the total energy and electron density of atoms and molecules by directly modifying the Euler equation for the electron density, which we argue is less affected by nonlocal corrections. Here we…
We consider a large neutral atom of atomic number $Z$, modeled by a pseudo-relativistic Hamiltonian of Chandrasekhar. We study its suitably rescaled one-particle ground state density on the Thomas--Fermi length scale $Z^{-1/3}$. Using an…
