Gauge principle and QED
Norbert Straumann
One of the major developments of twentieth century physics has been the gradual recognition that a common feature of the known fundamental interactions is their gauge structure. In…
Einstein's contributions to quantum theory
Norbert Straumann
Einstein's revolutionary light quantum hypothesis of 1905 and his further contributions to quantum theory are reviewed.
Light Quanta and Molecules: A Contribution to the Annus Mirabilis
Norbert Straumann
Einstein's contributions to statistical mechanics and quantum theory are reviewed. We also provide a detailed discussion of his thesis on suspensions that led to a good value of th…
Einstein's impact on the physics of the twentieth century
Domenico Giulini, Norbert Straumann
Starting with Einstein's famous papers of 1905, we review some of the ensuing developments and their impact on present-day physics. We attempt to cover topics that are of interest…
On Einstein's Doctoral Thesis
Norbert Straumann
Einstein's thesis ``A New Determination of Molecular Dimensions'' was the second of his five celebrated papers in 1905. Although it is -- thanks to its widespread practical applica…
Cosmological Phase Transitions
Norbert Straumann
In this lecture at a school for condensed matter physicists, I begin with basic concepts and tools for investigating phase transitions in quantum field theory. The very different r…
