Electron Wavefunctions and Densities for Atoms

With a special `Ansatz' we analyse the regularity properties of atomic electron wavefunctions and electron densities. In particular we prove an a priori estimate, $\sup_{y\in B(x,R)}|\nabla\psi(y)| \leq C(R) \sup_{y\in B(x,2R)}|\psi(y)|$ and obtain for the spherically averaged electron density, $\widetilde\rho(r)$, that $\widetilde\rho''(0)$ exists and is non-negative

Many Particle Hardy-Inequalities

In this paper we prove three differenttypes of the so-called many-particle Hardy inequalities. One of them is a "classical type" which is valid in any dimesnion $d\neq 2$. The second type deals with two-dimensional magnetic Dirichlet forms where every particle is supplied with a soplenoid. Finally we show that Hardy inequalities for Fermions hold true in all dimensions.Comment: 20 page

Non-isotropic cusp conditions and regularity of the electron density of molecules at the nuclei

We investigate regularity properties of molecular one-electron densities rho near the nuclei. In particular we derive a representation rho(x)=mu(x)*(e^F(x)) with an explicit function F, only depending on the nuclear charges and the positions of the nuclei, such that mu belongs to C^{1,1}(R^3), i.e., mu has locally essentially bounded second derivatives. An example constructed using Hydrogenic eigenfunctions shows that this regularity result is sharp. For atomic eigenfunctions which are either even or odd with respect to inversion in the origin, we prove that mu is even C^{2,\alpha}(R^3) for all alpha in (0,1). Placing one nucleus at the origin we study rho in polar coordinates x=r*omega and investigate rho'(r,omega) and rho''(r,omega) for fixed omega as r tends to zero. We prove non-isotropic cusp conditions of first and second order, which generalize Kato's classical result.Comment: 19 page

Positivity and lower bounds to the decay of the atomic one-electron density

We investigate properties of the spherically averaged atomic one-electron density rho~(r). For a rho~ which stems from a physical ground state we prove that rho~ > 0. We also give exponentially decreasing lower bounds to rho~ in the case when the eigenvalue is below the corresponding essential spectrum.Comment: 20 page

Nash Williams Conjecture and the Dominating Cycle Conjecture

The disproved Nash Williams conjecture states that every 4-regular 4-connected graph has a hamiltonian cycle. We show that a modification of this conjecture is equivalent to the Dominating Cycle Conjecture

Analyticity of the density of electronic wavefunctions

We prove that the electronic densities of atomic and molecular eigenfunctions are real analytic in ${\mathbb R}^3$ away from the nuclei.Comment: 19 page
