  Erlangen program - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An influential research programme and manifesto was published in 1872 by Felix Klein, under the title Vergleichende Betrachtungen über neuere geometrische Forschungen.
The long-term effects of the Erlangen programme can be seen all over pure mathematics (see tacit use at congruence (geometry), for example); and the idea of transformations and of synthesis using groups of symmetry is of course now standard too in physics.
In pedagogic terms, the programme became transformation geometry, a mixed blessing in the sense that it builds on stronger intuitions than the style of Euclid, but is less easily converted into a logical system.

With its eleven faculties - nine of which are in Erlangen and two in Nürnberg -, with 250 chairs and a total staff of over 12,000, the University is the second largest in Bavaria and a major factor in research and teaching.
Erlangen (population: 100,000) is situated some 25 km north of Nürnberg, about 200 km north of Munich, and 180 km southeast of Frankfurt (Main).
The degree programme in Molecular Medicine consists of an undergraduate (Grundstudium) and a graduate (Hauptstudium) phase.

Oral examinations in four of the six subjects must be passed during the programme as a condition for the later defence of the dissertation.
The research project for the dissertation is undertaken under the supervision of a member of the academic staff of one of the chairs of the Department of Chemical and Bioengineering.
The exact topic of the research may not be settled until the student arrives in Erlangen, but it is necessary that a firm arrangement exists between a new researcher and the head of one of the chairs of the Department in advance.

 Felix Klein - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
He was a professor at the Universities of Erlangen, Munich, Leipzig and finally Göttingen, teaching mathematics.
His major topics were non-Euclidean geometry, group theory and function theory.
His enunciation of the Erlangen programme classifying geometries by their underlying group of symmetries was hugely influential: a synthesis of much of the mathematics of its time.

One may, however consider geometry as study of those properties of the figures that are not changed by similarity transformations.
This approach (known as the Klein's Erlangen programme) is generalized, by defining two figures to be equivalent relative to a certain group of transformations if they can be mapped onto each other by a transformation from that group.
The geometry associated with the group of transformations is then the study of those properties of figures which are preserved under the transformations of the group.

Although the theory of Padé approximants which he had developed in his thesis, and in many later papers, was not quick to be taken up by many other mathematicians, it did become well known after Borel presented Padé approximants in his 1901 book on divergent series.
His translation had appeared as Le programme d'Erlangen in the Annals of the École Normale Supérieure in 1891, shortly after he returned from his studies in Germany.
Having achieved high standing at the University of Bordeaux, Padé left universities in 1908, when he was 44 years old, to became Rector of the Academy in Besançon.

Klein was appointed professor at Erlangen, in Bavaria in southern Germany, in 1872.
Klein's Erlanger Programm was seen to be inadequate as a general description of geometry by Weyl and Veblen and Cartan was to play a major role.
At Erlangen he studied for his doctorate and, under Klein's direction, he wrote a dissertation on non-Euclidean line geometry and its connection with non-Euclidean kinematics and statics.

 Jack Sarfatti's notes on:
The two major current programmes that attempt to construct a full­blown theory of quantum gravity are the Ashtekar version of canonical quantum gravity, and superstring theory.
However, developments in the Ashtekar programme imply that it may be possible to construct a non­perturbative theory that is finite and that involves just the gravitational field alone.
The two major current approaches to quantum gravity proper---the Ashtekar programme, and superstring theory---differ so much in their starting positions and lines of development that it is hard to say much in conclusion other than that the problem of quantum gravity is still wide open.

 MASS - Colloquia 2001
Thursday, September 27 Augustin Banyaga (Penn State University) 2:30 pm "Klein's Erlanger Programme" ABSTRACT: In Klein's Erlangen Programme, the "GEOMETRY" of a space X is defined as the study of configurations (subsets) of X that remain invariant under a group of transformations G(X).
The leitmotiv of his programme is that the group G=G(X) should be the primary object: let G act on a space X and look for invariants.
To what extend then does G determine the geometry of X? We consider this problem in the realm of modern differential geometry: are topological, smooth, riemannian, unimodular, symplectic, contact, Poisson structures, etc. determined by their automorphism groups?

Yuval Ne'eman of Tel-Aviv University, Israel makes a reference to the Erlangen Program announced by Felix Klein in 1872.
Klein suggested to classify different geometries by means of groups of symmetries —; transformations that leave invariant essential properties of geometric figures.
In his paper De l'Autogéométrisation de la Physique, Ne'eman writes: "Le Programme d'Erlangen se réalise à travers la physique!" (Well, at times symmetry gets spontaneously lost and a definitive reference about this phenomenon is Noncommutative Geometry by Alain Connes.)
