The stability of matter: From atoms to stars. (English) Zbl 0698.35135

This article reviews some results on some aspects of classical Quantum Theory, namely the questions of the so-called “stability of matter”. It is an extremely pleasant presentation of the subject which begins with a short review and introduction to the models. Asymptotic results concerning large atoms in bulk electronic matter are given and explained. Finally, some relativistic corrections are considered.
