Solved and unsolved problems in relativistic quantum chemistry

► Relativistic many-electron theory needs a Fock space and a field-dependent vacuum. ► A good starting point is QED in Coulomb gauge without transversal photons. ► The Dirac underworld picture is obsolete. ► A kinetically balanced even-tempered Gaussian basis is complete. ► 'Quantum chemistry in Fock space is preferable over QED.
