SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the historical context and original papers related to Fermi-Walker transport, specifically referencing A.G. Walker's 1932 paper titled "Relative coordinates," published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, volume 52, pages 345-353. Participants shared links to access these papers, including a digital repository at The University of Edinburgh and a DOI link for Walker's article. Additionally, Enrico Fermi's related works from 1922 were mentioned, highlighting their significance in the study of this phenomenon.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Fermi-Walker transport theory
  • Familiarity with Riemannian geometry concepts
  • Knowledge of academic publishing and access to scientific papers
  • Basic proficiency in Italian for reading Fermi's original works
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the implications of A.G. Walker's 1932 paper on modern physics
  • Explore the digital repository at The University of Edinburgh for related research
  • Study the principles of Riemannian geometry as applied to Fermi-Walker transport
  • Read Enrico Fermi's original papers to understand foundational concepts in this field
USEFUL FOR

Researchers, physicists, and students interested in the historical development of Fermi-Walker transport and its mathematical foundations, as well as those seeking access to primary scientific literature in this area.

Hello, I'm studing the history of this phenomenon. Does someone has the original paper of A.G. Walker of 1932?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Can you at least give us the title?

of course
A.G. Walker 1932, Relative coordinates, Proc. Roy. Soc. Eddynburgh, \mathbf{52} 345--353
 
Unfortunately I've no access via my university account(s). The article by Fermi, which is in Italien, seems not to be available online:

Fermi, Enrico. "Sopra i fenomeni che avvengono in vicinanza di una linea oraria." Rend. Lincei, 1922, 31 (1), pp. 21-23, 51-52, 101-103 (in Itallian) 31 (1922): 21-23.
 
Go to Proceedings of royal society, volume 52 of 1932, page 345. You will find it there

Our university still has no access to this article :-(, but thanks for pointing it out again. For quick reference:

From Googling, "A.G. Walker 1932, Relative coordinates"
I got:
ERA is a digital repository of original research produced at The University of Edinburgh.
https://era.ed.ac.uk/handle/1842/34308
The theory of relative co-ordinates in Riemannian Geometry -
with a link to WalkerAG_1933redux.pdf (13.01Mb)
The third article (on page 21) in that PDF is "Relative Coordinates".
