广义相对论与德语物理学界“引力”分支学科的发展

General relativity and the growth of a sub-discipline "gravitation" in the German speaking physics community

Hubert F. M. Goenner

摘要:

我们将跟踪1915年到20世纪90年代德国引力理论的发展,即,相对论的引力理论,主要是爱因斯坦的,作为一个分支的物理学的意义上的社会,更准确地说,制度的历史。作为该领域持续专业化的标准,我们使用发表的研究论文,评论,专著,大学课程,讲师或教授的任命以及参与者(学院成员)的地位。专门的引力研究机构和物理社会的专门部门的建立,构成了这一制度化过程的最后阶段。目前,通过德国物理学会的一个蓬勃发展的专题分会“相对论和引力”和一个马克斯-普朗克引力物理研究所,德国相对论引力的研究已经制度化。虽然该领域的制度化已经实现,但德国年轻相对主义者进入该领域研究的情况并没有明显改善。广义相对论的许多研究仍然是在大学里以相当小的小组进行的,其连续性得不到保证。

英文摘要:

We will follow the growth of gravitational theory in Germany from 1915 to the 1990s, i.e., relativistic theories of gravitation, mainly Einstein's, as a branch of physics in the sense of social, more precisely institutional history. As criteria for a continued professionalizing of the field, we use the numbers of published research papers, reviews, monographs, courses at universities, appointments of lecturers or professors as well as the status of those involved (members of academies). The foundation of special institutes for gravitational research and of particular divisions of physical societies forms the final stage of this process of institutionalization. At present, an institutionalization of research in relativistic gravitation has been achieved in Germany through a thriving topical section "Relativity and Gravitation" of the German Physical Society and a Max-Planck-Institute for Gravitational Physics. While an institutionalization of the field became achieved, the situation for young German relativists for entering into research in the field was not noticeably improved. Much of research in general relativity still is done at universities in rather small groups, the continuity of which is not guaranteed.
