Relativistic self-consistent fields
Abstract
The equations of the relativistic self-consistent field, first set up by Swirles (1935), are discussed using the algebra of tensor operators. The coefficients of radial integrals in the formula for the energy can be written in terms of Clebsch-Gordon and Racah coefficients, so that their symmetries can easily be seen and their numerical values can easily be calculated with the use of published tables. The magnetic interaction between two electrons is considered as well as the electrostatic interaction, and the effect of this term on the ionization energy of a K electron in mercury is computed with the use of unpublished results of Mayers.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
