International symposium celebrating the centenary of the birth

of

E. C. G. Stueckelberg

(1905-1984)

 

 

This Symposium will take place on 2nd and 3rd December 2005, at the Section de Physique, Geneva University.

Born in 1905, Ernst C. G. Stueckelberg was Professor of theoretical physics at the Universities of Geneva and Lausanne in the years 1930-1970. He was one of the most eminent Swiss physicists of the 2Oth century. His breakthroughs, from his causal S-matrix to the renormalization group, have influenced the development of contemporary theoretical physics. The aim of our Symposium is to examine Stueckelberg's scientific work in its context and assess its significance. It will gather some of the best experts - physicists and historians - of Stueckelberg's thought. Their contributions will be completed by accounts of those who have known Stueckelberg as colleagues or students, in Geneva and Lausanne.
