Abstract
Empirical conjectures of Feneuille, based on new regularities observed in the quasi-Landau spectrum, are investigated. Scaling laws for Rydberg atoms in magnetic fields are obtained from Schrödinger's equation, in two different approximations. Our formulas support the empirical conjectures and show them to be closely connected with the dynamics of the electronic motion in the plane.
