In this paper we study the large-Z behavior of the ground state energy of atoms with electrons having relativistic kinetic energy p2c2+m2c4−mc2. We prove that to leading order in Z the energy is the same as in the nonrelativistic case, given by (nonrelativistic) Thomas–Fermi theory. For the problem to make sense, we keep the product Zα fixed (here α is Sommerfeld’s fine structure constant), and smaller than, or equal to, 2∕π, which means that as Z tends to infinity, α tends to zero.
