Differential geometry, general relativity, and unitary theories in the work of Mira Fernandes |
|
Abstract |
Mira Fernandes (1884-1958) was professor at Instituto Superior Técnico (Lisbon) from 1911 to 1953. He worked in a number of mathematical and physics topics, namely, group theory, differential geometry, unitary theories, and classical mechanics, publishing his papers in Italian and Portuguese journals. He has an extended correspondence with Levi-Civita. In unitary theories of the gravitational and electromagnetic fields he published, in Rendiconti della Accademia dei Lincei in the years 1931-1933, one paper in some properties of Schouten's affine connections and another two papers on Straneo's (a mathematical physicist from Genoa) unification scheme |
