Abstract

The system describing a single Dirac electron field coupled with classically moving point nuclei is presented and studied. The model is a semi-relativistic extension of corresponding time-dependent one-body Hartree-Fock equation coupled with classical nuclear dynamics, already known and studied both in quantum chemistry and in rigorous mathematical literature. We prove local existence of solutions for data in Hσ with σ∈[1,32[. In the course of the analysis a second new result of independent interest is discussed and proved, namely the construction of the propagator for the Dirac operator with several moving Coulomb singularities.
