Ţiţeica’s papers on quantum electrodynamics, now available in English

Three years after the publication of Şerban Ţiţeica’s PhD thesis translation into English, HHF provides an English version of his papers on quantum electrodynamics, as a Research Gate preprint, DOI: 10.13140/RG.2.2.24871.88486.

Ţiţeica’s papers on quantum electrodynamics have been published in journals with limited circulation (Bull. Soc. Roum. Phys. and Bull. Sect. Sci. de l’Acad. Roum.) in the early ’40s of the previous century, when Europe – including Romania – was devastated by war. Unfortunately, these remained unnoticed, due mainly to the post-war severe isolation of Eastern European countries, produced by the Iron Courtain. A discussion of the relevance of Ţiţeica’s papers, in the frame of modern quantum theory of fields, was worked out by Professor Sorin Mărculescu, and will be published soon. Professor Mărculescu also took kindly the task of correcting some typos of the French version of the papers.
