Abstract

We sketch two rigorous proofs of the stability of the hydrogen molecule in quantum mechanics. The first one is based on an extrapolation of variational estimates of the groundstate energy of a positronium molecule to arbitrary mass ratios. The second one is an extension of Heitler-London theory to nuclei of finite mass.
