Dark Energy: Recent Developments
Norbert Straumann
A six parameter cosmological model, involving a vacuum energy density that is extremely tiny compared to fundamental particle physics scales, describes a large body of increasingly…
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.
From Primordial Quantum Fluctuations to the Anisotropies of the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation
Norbert Straumann
These lecture notes cover mainly three connected topics. In the first part we give a detailed treatment of cosmological perturbation theory. The second part is devoted to cosmologi…
Historical and other Remarks on Hidden Symmetries
Norbert Straumann
Apart from a few remarks on lattice systems with global or gauge symmetries, most of this talk is devoted to some interesting ancient examples of symmetries and their breakdowns in…
Early History of Gauge Theories and Kaluza-Klein Theories, with a Glance at Recent Developments
Lochlain O'Raifeartaigh, 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…
Early History of Gauge Theories and Weak Interactions
Norbert Straumann
