Proof of the ionization conjecture in a reduced Hartree-Fock model

SummaryThe ionization conjecture for atomic models states that the ionization energy and maximal excess charge are bounded by constants independent of the nuclear charge. We prove this for the Hartree-Fock model without the exchange term.
