Join Our Mailing List THE OSKAR KLEIN MEMORIAL LECTURES Vol 1: Lectures by C N Yang and S Weinberg with Translated Reprints by O Klein edited by G Ekspong (Stockholm Univ.) The Oskar Klein Memorial Lectures, instituted in 1988 and supported by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences through its Nobel Committee for Physics, are given at Stockholm University in Sweden, where Oskar Klein was professor in Theoretical Physics 1930-1962. Volume 1 contains the 1988 lectures on "Symmetry and Physics" and "From the Bethe-Hulthén Hypothesis to the Yang-Baxter Equation," given by C N Yang , Nobel Prize winner (1957) and professor at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. The 1989 lectures on "Beyond the Standard Models," referring to models for cosmology and elementary particles, and on "Precision Tests of Quantum Mechanics'' were given by Steven Weinberg , Nobel Prize winner (1979) and professor at the University of Texas at Austin. The volume also contains translations of some of Klein's original papers, one on intermediate charged fields (original in French, 1938), another on five-dimensional quantum theory ("Kaluza-Klein theory," original in German, 1926). A scientific biography of Klein, written by Professors I. Fischer-Hjalmars and B Laurent, who both knew Klein well, is included as well as an autobiography by Klein.

Oskar Klein (In corso di traduzione in italiano) Fonte: http://www-gap.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Mathematicians/Klein_Oskar.html Oskar Klein was the youngest son of Sweden's first rabbi, Gottlieb Klein, who was originally from the Southern Carpathian. Gottlieb Klein received his doctorate from Heidelberg and moved to Sweden in 1883. He evidently instilled an interest in learning in his young son, as Oskar became quite fond of biology at an early age. This interest changed to chemistry around the age of 15 and soon after, in 1910, Svante Arrhenius, at what seems to be the behest of Gottlieb, invited Oskar to work in his laboratory at the Nobel Institute. Here he took up an interest in solubility and he published his first paper in 1912 on the solubility of zinc hydroxide in alkalis. This was the very same year that he finished his secondary education. He waited, however, until 1914 to take the University exam. Arrhenius wanted to send Klein to work with Jean-Baptiste Perrin in his laboratory at the University of Paris but the plan was foiled by the outbreak of World War I. Klein found himself caught up in the tempest and saw military service in 1915 and 1916. After his service concluded, but with the war still raging, he returned to work with Arrhenius. Their work now centred around studying dielectric constants of alcohols in various solvents. During this particular stay in Stockholm, he met Hendrik A Kramers, who, at the time (1917), was a student of Niels Bohr in Copenhagen. Kramers and Klein met several times during the next few years both in Stockholm and in Copenhagen, which was to be Klein's next destination.

Kaluza-Klein theory From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Kaluza-Klein theory (or KK theory , for short) is a model which sought to unify classical gravity and electromagnetism , first published in . It was discovered by the mathematician Theodor Kaluza that if general relativity is extended to a five-dimensional spacetime, the equations can be separated out into ordinary four-dimensional gravitation plus an extra set, which is equivalent to Maxwell's equations for the electromagnetic field , plus an extra scalar field known as the " dilaton ". This was first discovered by Gunnar Nordstr¶m in 1914, in the context of his theory of gravity, but subsequently forgotten. In Oskar Klein proposed that the fourth spatial dimension is curled up in a circle of very small radius , i.e. that a particle moving a short distance along that axis would return to where it began. The distance a particle can travel before reaching its initial position is said to be the size of the dimension. This, in fact, also gives rise to quantization of charge , as waves directed along a finite axis can only occupy discrete frequencies. (This occurs because electromagnetism is a

Henry Cavendish discovers and studies hydrogen. Carl Scheele and Antoine Lavoisier discover that air is composed mostly of nitrogen and oxygen. Joseph Priestly creates water by igniting hydrogen and oxygen. William Nicholson and Anthony Carlisle use electrolysis to separate water into hydrogen and oxygen. John Dalton introduces atomic ideas into chemistry and states that matter is composed of atoms of different weights. Amedeo Avogadro claims that equal volumes of gases should contain equal numbers of molecules. Michael Faraday states his laws of electrolysis. Dmitri Mendeleyev systematically examines the periodic table and predicts the existence of gallium, scandium, and germanium. Johannes van der Waals introduces the idea of weak attractive forces between molecules. Johann Balmer finds a mathematical expression for observed hydrogen line wavelengths. Heinrich Hertz discovers the photoelectric effect.

Week of Feb. 19, 2000; Vol. 157, No. 8 , p. 122 Hunting for Higher Dimensions Experimenters scurry to test new theories suggesting that extra dimensions are detectable Peter Weiss Only 2 years ago, the idea of extra dimensions inhabited a nebulous region somewhere between physics and science fiction. Energy spike from a gluon stands alone because a graviton has fled into extra dimensions, taking energy with it. This simulation models an experiment planned for the Tevatron accelerator, slated to start up again in 2001. Maria Spiropulu/Harvard U. Many physicists had already begun to see the up-and-coming string theory as the next major step for theoretical physics. In that theory, everything in the universe is composed of tiny loops, or strings, of energy vibrating in a space-time that has six or seven extra dimensions beyond the seemingly endless three standard dimensions of space and one of time. Conveniently, however, those extra dimensions are compactified, as physicists say, crumpled up in a space so small as to be unobservable. The idea that extra dimensions might be larger—perhaps detectable—was something that scientists mostly talked about "late at night, after a lot of wine," says Gordon L. Kane, a theorist from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. Kane therefore felt he was walking on the wild side when he penned a fictional news story about experimenters discovering extra dimensions.

60. The Wire @ WPI Online - June 1998 klein says he appears on oskar Schindler s list under this name. In leavingwith his father, klein escaped certain death, for the occupants of the http://www.wpi.edu/News/Wire/June98/klein.html

VOLUME 12, NO. 1 JUNE 1998 Saved by Schindler, Michael Klein Got on With His Life as published in the Spring 1994 WPI Journal t took more than four decades for Michael W. Klein, professor of physics, to feel ready to talk in public about his experiences as a prisoner in Nazi concentration camps during World War II and about Oskar Schindler, the man to whom he owes his life. Since the release of Steven Spielberg's Oscar-winning film about the German businessman, Klein has been talking about it a good deal as local groups ask him to come and tell, yet again, his compelling tale of horror, tragedy and survival. Klein's journey into the Holocaust began in Janoshalma, Hungary, not long after his 13th birthday, when the Germans occupied his native country. Like all Hungarian Jews, Klein's family, including his father (a rabbi), his mother, and his 10 brothers and sisters. were ordered into the overcrowded ghetto of Baczalmas. For about six weeks they endured hardship and hunger. The men were eventually sent to work with a Hungarian forced labor battalion. Then one morning the women and children were lined up and marched three miles to waiting cattle cars. Without water and with only the meager food they had carried with them, they rode for five days. "Conditions in the cars were horrible," Klein says. "It was June 24th when they loaded us in and it was very hot. But the worst part was that there was no fresh air-there were just two small openings at the ends of the car." On the fifth day the train stopped. The doors of the cars were opened in unison as capos (prisoners who worked for the Germans) jumped aboard. With cries of "Raus! Raus!" ("Out! Out!"), they swung clubs with brutal force, beating the prisoners and driving them from the cars. This was the "welcome" all prisoners received to Birkenau, part of the infamous German concentration and annihilation camp in Auschwitz, Poland.
