Aspects of Relativistic Sum Rules

Abstract

The status of our understanding of relativistic sum rules is reviewed. The recent development of new theoretical methods for the evaluation of these sum rules offers hope for further advances in this challenging field. These new techniques are described, along with a discussion of the source of difficulties inherent in such relativistic calculations. A connection is pointed out between certain sum rules for atomic interactions with charged particles and those for interactions with photons.
