Pauli has just heard that the second proofs of Bohr's "Dialectica" article have been sent to Bohr. They have to be final and he asks him to return them promptly to the editor. In reading the proofs Pauli noticed a slight error in the German translation of the summary and asks Bohr to correct this. Bohr's article is now excellent. The next time he hopes to write to Bohr about physics again.
Zonder titelSommerfeld thanks Pauli for his article in Naturwissenschaften in honour of Sommerfeld's 80th birthday.
Zonder titelThis is the last letter from the year 1948, written by Pauli just before going home for a New Year's dinner. Pauli is glad to report that he received the issue of "Dialectica" containing Bohr's article. Unfortunately he cannot say anything on the question of the reproduction rights. He has written to the editor again and hopes that Bohr will soon hear something. Pauli was very glad of the "hopeful spirit" of Bohr's letter. He is very interested in the publication of Bohr's old manuscripts, especially the paper with Rosenfeld on the charge measurements. He also thanks him for the copy of the "penetration" paper. He has had no time yet to look at it, because he was working on the new subtractive electrodynamics. He received a paper by Schwinger on self energy and polarisation of the vacuum. He is a master in concealing physical difficulties with mathematical elegance.
Zonder titelPauli writes about a long letter he has sent to Schwinger, Wentzel and Bethe on Vacuum polarization and photon self-energy. He would be interested in Pais, Oppenheimer and Dyson's opinion.
Zonder titelPauli makes more remarks about Schwinger's theory.
