Pauli writes mostly on personal matters.
Sin títuloPauli makes a remark on a note by Bethe on self-energy in: Physical review, 55, 681, 1939.
Sin títuloPauli writes about the impossibility of his returning to Switzerland during the war. He writes about new experiments with cosmic rays and about nuclear forces.
Sin títuloPauli writes about the necessity for continuation of his leave from Zürich. He writes about the possibilities for non-American physicists to get jobs in the U.S.A., because many Americans are busy with defense work. He writes about his paper with Dancoff on strong coupling in the pseudo-scalar meson theory and about his correspondance with Dirac on his efforts to remove divergences in quantum electrodynamics. He comments on Scherrer's attitude to theoretical physics.
Sin títuloPauli's letter deals with Dirac's new formulation of quantum electrodynamics. He objects to the fact that Einstein's radiation laws are not derived but introduced as additional assumptions and refers to
Sin títuloPauli hopes to be able to read Bhabha's cascade theory in Proceedings from the Indian Academy. He expresses his agreement with some of Bhabha's statement, but disagrees with his criticism of Christy and Kusaka. He makes general remarks on the relation between Bhabha's classical theory of 1941 and the Pauli and Dancoff theory. He has read with a great interest Dirac's new work (Proc. Roy. Soc. March 1942). He speaks about the two letters he has exchanged with him.
Sin títuloPauli makes some new remarks on Dirac's theory on the occasion of sending him a copy of Pauli's paper on Dirac's method of field-quantization.
Sin títuloPauli expresses his interest in some results of Dirac's pupil Eliezer and he makes some critical comments on his paper.
Sin títuloErrors in a work of Wilson, on which Chakrabarty's research is founded invalidate Chakrabarty's conclusions. Pauli has returned to work at Princeton from his summer estate and asks Bhabha to write to him often as he is becoming isolated.
Sin títuloPauli discusses the implication of forward neutron scattering for meson theory. He describes the attempt to obtain relativistic theory of deuteron quadrupole moment, and reports on his trip to Harvard.
