The Quantum Theory Of Gravitation, Effective Field Theories, and Strings: Yesterday And Today
Alessio Rocci, Thomas Van Riet
This paper analyzes the effective field theory perspective on modern physics through the lens of the quantum theory of gravitational interaction. The historical part argues that th…
Celebrating the birth of De Donder's chemical affinity (1922-2022): from the uncompensated heat to his Ave Maria
Alessio Rocci
Théophile De Donder, a Belgian mathematician born in Brussels, elaborated two important ideas that created a bridge between thermodynamics and chemical kinetics. He invented the co…
On the Gravitational Effects of Light
Alessio Rocci
[Translation of and Commentary on Léon Rosenfeld's "Ueber die Gravitationwirkungen des Lichtes", Zeitschrift fur Physik 65: 589-599 (1930). Originally published in German. Submitte…
Back to the Roots of Vector and Tensor Calculus. Heaviside versus Gibbs
Alessio Rocci
In June 1888, Oliver Heaviside received by mail an officially unpublished pamphlet, which was written and printed by the American author Willard J. Gibbs around 1881-1884. This ori…
Albert Einstein and the fifth dimension. A new interpretation of the papers published in 1927
Giulio Peruzzi, Alessio Rocci
In 1927 Einstein sent two brief communications to the Prussian Academy of Sciences on Kaluza's five-dimensional theory. In his Einstein biography, Abraham Pais asserted that he cou…
Tales from the prehistory of Quantum Gravity. Léon Rosenfeld's earliest contribution
Giulio Peruzzi, Alessio Rocci
The main purpose of this paper is to analyse the earliest work of Léon Rosenfeld, one of the pioneers in the search of Quantum Gravity, the supposed theory unifying quantum theory…
On first attempts to reconcile quantum principles with gravity
Alessio Rocci
In his 1916's first paper on gravitational waves Einstein began to speculate on interactions between the principles of the old quantum theory and his theory of gravitation. With th…
