作者簡介

Norbert Straumann (born 6 August 1936 in Niedererlinsbach) is a Swiss physicist. He attended public schools and studied physics and mathematics at the ETH in Zurich, where his instructors included Heinz Hopf, Res Jost, Wolfgang Pauli, Paul Scherrer, Eduard Stiefel, Walter Heitler, Rolf Nevanlinna and Bartel Leendert van der Waerden.

In his diploma thesis in 1959, Professor Straumann dealt with the characterization of generalized free fields in the axiomatic field theory, which he wrote under the direction of Res Jost. In 1961 he completed his doctorate under Walter Heitler with a thesis on hyperon and meson mass differences in a non-local field theory. In subsequent years, he was a research associate of Walter Heitler.

From 1964 to 1965 he was a Fellow at CERN in Geneva, serving as an assistant professor at the University of Zurich. From 1967 to 1968 he taught as an associate professor at Duke University in North Carolina. At that time his focus was on the mass differences for bosons and the current algebra, a forerunner of the modern theory of strong interactions.

In 1969 he began forming a theory group for the former Swiss Institute for Nuclear Research (now the Paul Scherrer Institute). In the seventies he changed his focus, growing more interested in the theory of gravitation. In this context, he placed great emphasis on the historical aspects of gravity.

In 1969, Straumann became a professor at the University of Zurich, and the years and decades that followed saw him increasingly involved in major associations. From 1980-1987 he was a member of the Scientific Council at the Swiss National Science Foundation; from 1985-1986 he was a visiting professor at the Institute for Theoretical Physics at the University of Bern. In 1988 he was a visiting professor in Amsterdam. From 1997-2000 he worked on an advisory board of the Albert Einstein Institute in Potsdam.

In 2001 he retired, and has since written a number of further works on the theory of gravitation, primarily addressing the classic fields of theoretical physics (mechanics, electrodynamics, thermodynamics and kinetic theory, statistical mechanics, special relativity, general relativity and astrophysics, cosmology and black holes). His lecture notes, which have partly been published in book form, influenced a whole generation of students and researchers at the University of Zurich.

In recognition of his achievements, in 2005 Norbert Straumann was awarded the title of Doctor Philosophiae Honoris Causa from the University of Bern.

作者簡介(中文翻譯)

諾伯特·斯特勞曼(Norbert Straumann,1936年8月6日出生於尼德艾瑞林斯巴赫)是一位瑞士物理學家。他就讀於公立學校,並在蘇黎世的瑞士聯邦理工學院(ETH)學習物理和數學,期間的指導教授包括海因茨·霍夫(Heinz Hopf)、瑞斯·約斯特(Res Jost)、沃爾夫岡·泡利(Wolfgang Pauli)、保羅·謝爾(Paul Scherrer)、愛德華·斯蒂費爾(Eduard Stiefel)、瓦爾特·海特勒(Walter Heitler)、羅夫·內瓦林納(Rolf Nevanlinna)和巴特爾·倫德特·范德·維爾登(Bartel Leendert van der Waerden)。

在1959年的畢業論文中,斯特勞曼教授探討了公理場論中廣義自由場的特徵,該論文是在瑞斯·約斯特的指導下撰寫的。1961年,他在瓦爾特·海特勒的指導下完成了博士學位,論文主題為非局部場論中的超子和介子質量差異。在隨後的幾年中,他擔任瓦爾特·海特勒的研究助理。

從1964年到1965年,他在日內瓦的歐洲核子研究組織(CERN)擔任研究員,並在蘇黎世大學擔任助理教授。從1967年到1968年,他在北卡羅來納州的杜克大學擔任副教授。當時他的研究重點是玻色子的質量差異和電流代數,這是現代強相互作用理論的前身。

1969年,他開始為前瑞士核研究所(現為保羅·謝爾研究所)組建一個理論小組。在1970年代,他改變了研究重點,對引力理論產生了更大的興趣。在這個背景下,他非常重視引力的歷史方面。

1969年,斯特勞曼成為蘇黎世大學的教授,隨後的歲月和幾十年中,他越來越多地參與主要協會的工作。1980年至1987年,他是瑞士國家科學基金會的科學委員會成員;1985年至1986年,他在伯爾尼大學的理論物理研究所擔任訪問教授。1988年,他在阿姆斯特丹擔任訪問教授。1997年至2000年,他在波茨坦的阿爾伯特·愛因斯坦研究所擔任顧問委員會成員。

2001年,他退休,並自此撰寫了多部關於引力理論的著作,主要涉及理論物理的經典領域(力學、電動力學、熱力學和動力學理論、統計力學、特殊相對論、一般相對論、天體物理學、宇宙學和黑洞)。他的講義部分已以書籍形式出版,影響了整整一代蘇黎世大學的學生和研究人員。

為了表彰他的成就,諾伯特·斯特勞曼於2005年獲得伯爾尼大學的榮譽博士(Doctor Philosophiae Honoris Causa)稱號。
