The Meaning and Facets of `Symmetry' in Physics
Domenico Giulini
This paper is an English translation of a contribution to the latest German edition (2017) of Hermann Weyl's classic text "Symmetry", edited and annotated by Erhard Scholz, Klaus V…
Instants in physics - point mechanics and general relativity
Domenico Giulini
Theories in physics usually do not address ``the present''or ``the now''. However, they usually have a precise notion of an ``instant'' (or state). I review how this notion appears…
Matter from Space
Domenico Giulini
General Relativity offers the possibility to model attributes of matter, like mass, momentum, angular momentum, spin, chirality etc. from pure space, endowed only with a single fie…
Concepts of Symmetry in the Work of Wolfgang Pauli
Domenico Giulini
"Symmetry" was one of the most important methodological themes in 20th-century physics and is probably going to play no lesser role in physics of the 21st century. As used today, t…
Electron Spin or "Classically Non-Describable Two-Valuedness"
Domenico Giulini
In December 1924 Wolfgang Pauli proposed the idea of an inner degree of freedom of the electron, which he insisted should be thought of as genuinely quantum mechanical in nature. S…
On the origin of Special Relativity
Domenico Giulini
Retrospectively, in 1905, Special Relativity seemed palpably close; it was "in the air". But apparently it needed the fresh approach of an unprejudiced newcomer, Einstein, to take…
