The time has come for Pauli to go to India. He thinks that he could get leave from Zürich and should be in India from November 1952 until the end of February 1953. He asks if that suits Bhabha. He says theoretical physics is not making much progress. Källén is working on the question to look behind the veil of Dyson's power series. The new Swiss "infant prodigy", Alder, is working on angular correlation, shell model and related problems and Shafrot on superconductivity. He wonders about his lecture obligations in India.
Sem títuloNilsson reports on Siegbahn's response to Pauli's inquiries about Rydberg's new elements of 1913.
Sem títuloIn this letter, Fierz derives the general expansion for half-integral "Eigenfunctions" of the symmetric top using infinitesimal rotations.
Sem títuloPauli remarks on Fierz' representation of the rotatory groups, on the relativistic energy-momentum tensor and on Bohm's and Einstein's conception of quantum physics.
Sem títuloFierz responds to Pauli's aversion to the half-integral rotation group by deriving its properties. He gives in attachment Pauli's calculations. Fierz also defends Bohm's ideas against Pauli's criticism.
Sem títuloPauli critizises a paper by Destouches on the physical interpretation of wave mechanics. He also implies a criticism of Louis de Borglie's point of view, given in his paper in: J. Phys. : 8 (1927), pp.225.
Sem títuloSchafroth makes a short mathematical calculation concerning some solutions of the Schrödiger equation and their interpretation.
Sem títuloPauli asks a question about the significance of certain form factors in C Bloch's theory.
Sem títuloPauli comments on an oral discussion with Thellung about the validity of "Vertauschungsrelationen" in certain fields.
Sem títuloPauli writes about Kramer's death (24 Apr) and their friendship. He writes of his forthcoming visit to Copenhagen (meson conference).
