History and Philosophy of Physics 2007-05-23 v2

Abstract

Editorial note: In this lecture, held at the meeting of the Berlin Physical Society, October 25, 1929, Lanczos discusses a nonlinear generalization of Proca's equation (derived from his ``fundamental equation'') such that the mass is multiplied by a scalar field function.
