We study the asymptotics of E(B,Z,N) as $B\\to \\infty$ with N and Z fixed but arbitrary. It is shown that the leading term has the form $(\\ln B)^2 e(Z,N)$, where e(Z,N) is the ground state energy of a system of N {\\em bosons} with delta interactions in {\\em one} dimension. This extends and refines previously known results for N=1 on the one hand, and $N,Z\\to\\infty$ with $B/Z^3\\to\\infty$ on the other hand.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1999-11-19T15:52:17.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "81V45", "81Q05" ], "keywords": [ "strong magnetic fields", "high field limit", "fixed nuclear charge", "ground state energy", "delta interactions" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "Springer", "journal": "Commun.
