Hermann Weyl - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Weyl's gauge theory was an unsuccessful attempt to model electromagnetic field and the gravitational field as geometrical properties of spacetime. Weyl also showed how to use exponential sums in diophantine approximation, with his criterion for uniform distribution mode 1, which was fundamental step in analytic number theory. Weyl's research was the framework for later explanations of the violation of nonconservation of parity, a characteristic of weak interactions between leptons, in particle physics. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Hermann_Weyl   (1227 words)

Hermann Weyl, November 9, 1885–December 9, 1955 | By Michael Atiyah | Biographical Memoirs Hermann Weyl was born in the small town of Elmshorn near Hamburg, the son of Ludwig and Anna Weyl. Weyl was one of the first to recognize the importance of Hodge's work and he contributed an essential step for the analytical part of the proof. Weyl's idea was to introduce a scale, or gauge, that varied from point to point and whose variation round a closed path in space-time would encapsulate the electromagnetic force. stills.nap.edu /html/biomems/hweyl.html   (3212 words)

Weyl Weyl himself produced two later editions, the third (and final) of these editions appearing in 1955 covering the same topics as the original text but with a more modern treatment. From 1930 to 1933 Weyl held the chair of mathematics at Göttingen where he was appointed to fill the vacancy which arose on Hilbert's retirement. Weyl was much influenced by Husserl in his outlook and also shared many ideas with Brouwer. www-gap.dcs.st-and.ac.uk /~history/Mathematicians/Weyl.html   (2235 words)

[No title]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07) At the beginning of this century the mathematician Hermann Weyl, then at the university of Göttingen, formulated a theory which unified the electrodynamical and gravitational forces in a geometrical manner by extending Einstein's theory of general relativity. Weyl's theory played a major part in the development of quantum mechanics and an early quantum mechanical reinterpretation of Weyl's theory by Fritz London in 1927, became a standard upon which modern unification theories are modelled. The fact that it was a mathematician who formulated such an important theory for physicists suggests that at that time the distinction between the specialty of mathematics and of theoretical physics was not as clear as it is nowadays, although it was lively debated at the time. www.phys.uu.nl /~wwwgrnsl/abstracts/kempe961011.html   (196 words)

Hermann Weyl, mathematician and mathematical physicist   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07) Weyl was one of the greats among twentieth century mathematicians. Since at that time there were no such particles, but the proton existed and lacked its own theory, Weyl tried out the idea that the proton was the predicted positively charged particle; its mass was conjectured by Weyl to have been altered from that of the electron by gravitational interactions. Weyl had discovered a theory of two-component neutrinos in about 1931, and this was refuted by Pauli, since it violated parity conservation. www.mth.kcl.ac.uk /~streater/Weyl.html   (350 words)

weylmann.com - Hermann Weyl Weyl's 1918 theory of the unified electrodynamic/gravitational field was one of the topics in that chapter. Weyl's early love of philosophy appears to have sprung at least in part because of the influence of his wife, whom he married in 1913. Weyl's 1918 gauge theory essentially stated that the magnitude of a vector quantity was not absolute but variable from point to point in a 4-dimensional manifold, and that the electromagnetic four-vector was responsible for this variability. www.weylmann.com   (19088 words)

According to Armand Borel, who heard the story from M.Plancherel that whenever Weyl was going to give a lecture at Zurich, he approached the lecture room with trepidation in case von Neumann was in the audience.

When more realist Einsteinians talk of curved space-time, they may be reverting to the ways of the Cambridge Platonists in Newton's time who placed all mathematical ideas in the mind of God. The rise of the National Socialism in Germany in 1933, resulted in Weyl going to the Institute for Advanced Study. www.worldhistory.com /wiki/H/Hermann-Weyl.htm   (1325 words)
