Abstract

The strong Scott conjecture about the electron density at a distance 1/Z from an atomic nucleus of charge Z and its generalization for molecules are proved. The density, suitably scaled, converges to an explicit limiting density as Z ∞. Both a weak convergence and a pointwise convergence on spheres holds.
