Abstract: Let E(B,Z,N) denote the ground state energy of an atom with N electrons and nuclear charge Z in a homogeneous magnetic field B. We study the asymptotics of E(B,Z,N) as B→∞ with N and Z fixed but arbitrary. It is shown that the leading term has the form (ln B)2 e(Z,N), where e(Z,N) is the ground state energy of a system of N bosons with delta interactions in one dimension. This extends and refines previously known results for N= 1 on the one hand, and N,Z→∞ with B/Z 3→∞ on the other hand.
