Pauli is disappointed with Heisenberg's letter on nuclear physics. The indefiniteness of the go-functions in Heisenberg's and Majorana's nuclear theory is unsatisfactory.

Pauli replies to questions from Heisenberg in his letter of 4 November 1934. The self-energy of the electron in Pauli's theory becomes logarithmically infinite . This theory can only be developed with Bose-statistics. He writes about the Lagrange function of the scattering of light by light and about the magnetic moment of the neutron and the symmetry of the laws of nature with regard to the sign of the charge. He talks about the magnetic moment of the proton and the deuteron.
Pauli, WolfgangPauli agrees with Heisenberg about V Neumann's paper. He also believes in the significance of a universal length.
Pauli, WolfgangPauli agrees with Heisenberg's suggestion (letter of 2nd February) for the modification of his theory, and adds some remarks on this.
Pauli, WolfgangPauli comments on a paper by Heisenberg about nuclear forces and its relation to the Yukawa-theory.
Pauli, WolfgangPauli makes two remarks concerning Heisenberg's letter of 5 April about nuclear forces.
Pauli, WolfgangPauli agrees with Heisenberg's letter of the 23 May which clarifies the question of decidability between various laws of force in proton-neutron scattering.
Pauli, WolfgangPauli talks about the question of Beta-spectra. The literature gives ample evidence against Heisenberg's hypothesis.
Pauli, WolfgangPauli is glad that Heisenberg's last letter of the 1st May has clarified the problem of frequency dependence of additional terms in Heisenberg's equation. He gives an outline of his paper for the Solvay congress.
Pauli, WolfgangPauli gives a few results concerning the S-matrix which where found by his collaborator Ma in Princeton. He doesn't believe that the S-matrix is a fundamental concept which will play a basic role
