Unorthodox Dimensional Interpolations for He, Li, Be Atoms and Hydrogen Molecule

We present a simple interpolation formula using dimensional limits D = 1 and D = ∞ to obtain the D = 3 ground-state energies of atoms and molecules. For atoms, these limits are linked by first-order perturbation terms of electron-electron interactions. This unorthodox approach is illustrated by grou...
