Third derivative of the one-electron density at the nucleus (Q1002368)

Having proved that the electron densities \(\rho\) of atomic and molecular eigenfunctions of Schrödinger operators are real analytic away from the positions of the nuclei [cf. \textit{S. Fournais, M. Hoffmann-Ostenhof, T. Hoffmann-Ostenhof}, and \textit{T. Ostergaard Sorensen}, Ark. Mat. 42, 87--106 (2004; Zbl 1068.35118)], the authors study the regularity of \(\rho\) in the vicinity of the nuclei. They prove the existence of a third derivative of the spherically averaged atomic density at the nucleus and derive a negative upper bound to it for eigenvalues below the essential spectrum in any symmetric subspace.
