The Energy of Heavy Atoms: Relativistic Effects — •Heinz Siedentop — Mathematisches Institut, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, Theresienstraße 39, D-80333 München, Germany

We will discuss to which extend the energy of heavy atoms can be described by nonrelativistic quantum mechanics and when relativistic effects become important. The presentation will be based in joined work with R. Frank, KTH, and S. Warzel, Princeton University, and previous work with R. Cassanas.
