Pauli mentions the recent results about the magnetic moment of the free neutron and adds a lengthy theoretical comment to this.
Pauli, WolfgangPauli asks Jordan to send his cosmological works to Prof. Lichnerowicz at Strasbourg. He writes about Jung's interest in parapsychology. He has a negative opinion about a book by an American psychologist, E White, on the "Unobstructed Universe".
Pauli, WolfgangPauli replies to a letter about affine field theory. Pauli explains why the unity of field theory is impossible, because the reduced curvature tensor splits into a symmetrical and antisymmetrical part, which can never be brought together again.
Pauli, WolfgangPauli writes on additional calculations about Jordan's theory of gravitational constant.
Pauli, WolfgangPauli gives some details about the confor-transformations in Jordan's field equations.
Pauli, WolfgangPauli replies to three questions of Jordan: 1) on heat conductivity, 2) on his possible visit to Hamburg, 3) on a problem which Delbrück might be able to answer.
Pauli, WolfgangPauli congratulates Jordan on his appointment in Rostock. He makes short comments on Fermi's paper on quantum electrodynamics, on the paper by Fock and Weyl on the field equations of matter waves , which are invariant with respect to arbitrary rotations, and by which Einstein's Fernparallelismus comes to grief. He gossips about Einstein's lectures on Fernparallelismus and quantum theory. He writes about the gauge invariance and gives rumors about a new paper by Dirac.
Pauli, WolfgangPauli thanks Jordan for sending him the booklet on "Komplementarität und Verdrägung". He writes of C G Jung's interest in these questions as well as in Rhine's experiments. He talks about Jung's "synchronistic" phenomena.
Pauli, WolfgangPauli thanks Jordan for his book "Schwerkraft und Weltall". He has also read Ludwig's book on progress in projective theory of relativity. He thinks that the projective formulation (homogeneous coordinates) does not improve or add anything to Kaluza's formulation. He asks about the recent value of the Hubble constant. The idea of a changing gravitational constant seems plausible to him.
