Abstract
We investigate stability of matter of the Hartree-Fock functional of the relativistic electron-positron field – in suitable second quantization – interacting via a second quantized Coulomb field and a classical magnetic field. We are able to show that stability holds for a range of nuclear charges and fine structure constants that include the physical value of and elements up to holmium ().
