Giulio Racah and Theoretical Physics in Jerusalem
Nissan Zeldes
Abstract
Giulio Racah's name is known world wide in physics due to the mathematical methods he developed that are based on tensor operators and continuous groups. These methods revolutionized spectroscopy, and they are currently essential research tools in atomic, nuclear and elementary particle physics. He himself applied them to modernizing theoretical atomic spectroscopy. Racah laid the foundations of theoretical physics in Israel. He educated several generations of Israeli physicists, and put Israel on the world map of physics.
