The life and times of Emmy Noether: contributions of Emmy Noether to particle physics

摘要

The contributions of Emmy Noether to particle physics fall into two categories. One is given under the rubric of Noether's theorem, and the other may be described as her important contributions to modern mathematics. These will be discussed along with an historical account of her work and what its impact has been. In addition a brief biography is given. (To be published in the Proceedings of the Int'l Conf. on The History of Original Ideas and Basic Discoveries in Particle Physics, Erice, Italy, 29 July-4 Aug., 1994.)
