Proof of the ionization conjecture for Engel-Dreizler atoms — •Heinz Siedentop — Mathematisches Institut, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, Theresienstr. 39, 80333 München

We show that the number of electrons that an atom described by the relativistic density functional introduced by Engel and Dreizler is bounded uniformly in Z. The presentation is based on joined work with Rafael Benguria, Santiago, Chile.

Keywords: Anions, ionization
