Abstract

We perform the calculation of all relativistic and quantum electrodynamic corrections of the order of α^{6} m to the ground electronic state of a hydrogen molecule and present improved results for the dissociation and the fundamental transition energies. These results open the window for the high-precision spectroscopy of H_{2} and related low-energy tests of fundamental interactions.
