From heliocentrism to epicycles: A commentary on pre-Ptolemaic astronomy
Erhard Scholz
If one wants to translate the heliocentric picture of planets moving uniformly on circular orbits about the sun to the perspective of a terrestrial observer, using classical (ancie…
H. Weyl's and E. Cartan's proposals for infinitesimal geometry in the early 1920s
Erhard Scholz
In the early phase of general relativity Elie Cartan and Hermann Weyl thought about the question of how the role of transformation groups could be transferred from classical geomet…
Integrating Dark Matter, Modified Gravity, and the Humanities
Niels C. M. Martens, Miguel Ángel Carretero Sahuquillo, Erhard Scholz +2
Editorial of a special issue on dark matter & modified gravity, distributed across the journals Studies in History and Philosophy of Modern Physics and Studies in History and Philo…
Gauging the spacetime metric -- looking back and forth a century later
Erhard Scholz
H. Weyl's proposal of 1918 for generalizing Riemannian geometry by local scale gauge (later called {\em Weyl geometry}) was motivated by mathematical, philosophical and physical co…
Weyl's search for a difference between `physical' and `mathematical' automorphisms
Erhard Scholz
During his whole scientific life Hermann Weyl was fascinated by the interrelation of physical and mathematical theories. From the mid 1920s onward he reflected also on the typical…
Local spinor structures in V. Fock's and H. Weyl's work on the Dirac equation (1929)
Erhard Scholz
In early 1929, V. Fock (initially in collaboration with D. Iwanenko) and H. Weyl developed independently from each other a general relativistic generalization of the Dirac equation…
