    K.-P. Dostal, Arnold Sommerfeld in einigen Zitaten von ihm und über ihn Seite 1 Karl-Peter Dostal, Arnold Sommerfeld in einigen Zitaten von ihm und über ihn1 Kurze biographische Bemerkungen Arnold Sommerfeld [* 5. Dezember 1868 in Königsberg, † 26. April 1951 in München] zählt neben Max Planck, Albert Einstein und Niels Bohr zu den Begründern der modernen theoretischen Physik. Durch die Ausarbeitung der Bohrschen Atomtheorie, als Lehrbuchautor (Atombau und Spektrallinien, Vorlesungen über theoretische Physik) und durch seine „Schule“ (zu der etwa die Nobelpreisträger Peter Debye, Wolfgang Pauli, Werner Heisenberg und Hans Bethe gehören) sorgte Sommerfeld wie kein anderer für die Verbreitung der modernen Physik.2 Je nach Auswahl könnte Sommerfeld [aber] nicht nur als theoretischer Physiker, sondern auch als Mathematiker, Techniker oder Wissenschaftsjournalist porträtiert werden.3 Als Schüler der Mathematiker Ferdinand von Lindemann, Adolf Hurwitz, David Hilbert und Felix Klein hatte sich Sommerfeld zunächst vor allem der Mathematik zugewandt (seine erste Professur: 1897 - 1900 für Mathematik an der Bergakademie Clausthal). Als Professor an der TH Aachen von 1900 - 1906 gewann er zunehmendes Interesse an der Technik. 1906 erhielt er den seit Jahren verwaisten Lehrstuhl für theoretische Physik in München, an dem er mit wenigen Unterbrechungen noch bis 1940 (und dann wieder ab 19464) unterrichtete. Im Gegensatz zur etablierten Experimen- talphysik war die theoretische Physik anfangs des 20. Jh. noch eine junge Disziplin. Sie wurde nun zu

Juli 1985 Die Aktivitäten der Bayerischen Akademie der Wissenschaften zur Herausgabe der Werke von Johannes Kepler haben ihren Ursprung darin, daß das Akademiemitglied Walther von Dyck (*1856 in Mün- chen) sich mit Kepler zu beschäftigen begann, vermutlich auf Anre- gung seines Freundes Oskar von Miller. Schon Anfang desjahrhun- derts war Walther von Dyck von Oskar von Miller um einen Vor- trag über Johannes Kepler gebeten worden und hatte bei den Vorbe- reitungen dazu festgcstcllt, daß ein großer Teil der Schriften Keplers in der einzigen damals existierenden Ausgabe der Gesammelten Wer- ke - welche der württcmbcrgische Gelehrte Christian Frisch zwi- schen 1858 und 1871 besorgt hatte - nicht berücksichtigt war. Wal- ther von Dyck begann, Keplers Manuskripte systematisch zu sam- meln; als erstes Ergebnis erschienen 1910 unter den Abhandlungen der mathematisch-naturwissenschaftlichen Klasse unserer Akademie zwei wieder aufgefundene Prognostika auf diejahre 1604 und 1624, die Walther von Dyck am 5. November 1910 der Klasse vorlegte und die auch noch im gleichen Jahr gedruckt wurden.

  • Section I.9. Free Groups, Free Products, and Generators and Relations
    I.9. Free Groups, Free Products, and Generators and Relations 1 Section I.9. Free Groups, Free Products, and Generators and Relations Note. This section includes material covered in Fraleigh’s Sections VII.39 and VII.40. We define a free group on a set and show (in Theorem I.9.2) that this idea of “free” is consistent with the idea of “free on a set” in the setting of a concrete category (see Definition I.7.7). We also define generators and relations in a group presentation. Note. To define a free group F on a set X, we will first define “words” on the set, have a way to reduce these words, define a method of combining words (this com- bination will be the binary operation in the free group), and then give a reduction of the combined words. The free group will have the reduced words as its elements and the combination as the binary operation. If set X = ∅ then the free group on X is F = hei. Definition. Let X be a nonempty set. Define set X−1 to be disjoint from X such that |X| = |X−1|. Choose a bijection from X to X−1 and denote the image of x ∈ X as x−1. Introduce the symbol “1” (with X and X−1 not containing 1). A −1 word on X is a sequence (a1, a2,...) with ai ∈ X ∪ X ∪ {1} for i ∈ N such that for some n ∈ N we have ak = 1 for all k ≥ n. The sequence (1, 1,...) is the empty word which we will also sometimes denote as 1.

  • Translation of Three Short Papers by Grete Hermann
    Journal for General Philosophy of Science (2020) 51:615–619 https://doi.org/10.1007/s10838-020-09530-6 ARTICLE Translation of Three Short Papers by Grete Hermann Guido Bacciagaluppi1 Published online: 27 November 2020 © The Author(s) 2020 After a number of years of relative neglect, it is now becoming apparent that Grete Her- mann (1901–1984) was one of the most accomplished neo-Kantian philosophers of the last century—in part thanks to the recent publication of two volumes on and of her work, one in English (Crull and Bacciagaluppi 2017) and one in German (Herrmann 2019), both reviewed in this issue. The latter in particular contains Hermann’s entire output on modern physics and philosophy of science. Below I translate the three shortest papers by Hermann in that volume, which I intro- duce here. They provide quick but fascinating glimpses into some of Hermann’s ideas on philosophy of science, quantum mechanics and transcendental idealism. They are: from 1935 a book review of Popper’s Logik der Forschung (the original German edition of The Logic of Scientifc Discovery), from 1936 a comment on Schlick’s posthumously published talk ‘Quantentheorie und Erkennbarkeit der Natur’ (‘Quantum Theory and Knowability of Nature’) and from 1937 a short summary of Hermann’s ideas on the relation between Kant’s philosophy and modern physics (specifcally electrodynamics, the special and gen- eral theories of relativity and quantum mechanics) presented at the Congrès Descartes in Paris.1 1 Popper Review Popper had published Logik der Forschung in late 1934 (with the impressum of the fol- lowing year, Popper 1935).

  • The Isotope Effect: Prediction, Discussion, and Discovery
    1 The isotope effect: Prediction, discussion, and discovery Helge Kragh Centre for Science Studies, Department of Physics and Astronomy, Aarhus University, 8000 Aarhus, Denmark. ABSTRACT The precise position of a spectral line emitted by an atomic system depends on the mass of the atomic nucleus and is therefore different for isotopes belonging to the same element. The possible presence of an isotope effect followed from Bohr’s atomic theory of 1913, but it took several years before it was confirmed experimentally. Its early history involves the childhood not only of the quantum atom, but also of the concept of isotopy. Bohr’s prediction of the isotope effect was apparently at odds with early attempts to distinguish between isotopes by means of their optical spectra. However, in 1920 the effect was discovered in HCl molecules, which gave rise to a fruitful development in molecular spectroscopy. The first detection of an atomic isotope effect was no less important, as it was by this means that the heavy hydrogen isotope deuterium was discovered in 1932. The early development of isotope spectroscopy illustrates the complex relationship between theory and experiment, and is also instructive with regard to the concepts of prediction and discovery. Keywords: isotopes; spectroscopy; Bohr model; atomic theory; deuterium. 1. Introduction The wavelength of a spectral line arising from an excited atom or molecule depends slightly on the isotopic composition, hence on the mass, of the atomic system. The phenomenon is often called the “isotope effect,” although E-mail: [email protected]. 2 the name is also used in other meanings.

  • A History of Quantum Chemistry
    1 Quantum Chemistry qua Physics: The Promises and Deadlocks of Using First Principles In the opening paragraph of his 1929 paper “ Quantum Mechanics of Many-Electron Systems, ” Paul Adrien Maurice Dirac announced that: The general theory of quantum mechanics is now almost complete, the imperfections that still remain being in connection with the exact fi tting in of the theory with relativity ideas. These give rise to diffi culties only when high-speed particles are involved, and are therefore of no importance in the consideration of atomic and molecular structure and ordinary chemical reac- tions, in which it is, indeed, usually suffi ciently accurate if one neglects relativity variation of mass with velocity and assumes only Coulomb forces between the various electrons and atomic nuclei. The underlying physical laws necessary for the mathematical theory of a large part of physics and the whole of chemistry are thus completely known, and the diffi culty is only that the exact applica- tion of these laws leads to equations much too complicated to be soluble. It therefore becomes desirable that approximate practical methods of applying quantum mechanics should be developed, which can lead to an explanation of the main features of complex atomic systems without too much computation. (Dirac 1929, 714, emphasis ours) For most members of the community of physicists, it appeared that the solution of chemical problems amounted to no more than quantum-mechanical calculations. Physicists came under the spell of Dirac ’ s reductionist program, and quantum chem- istry came to be usually regarded as a success story of quantum mechanics.
