Dirac, Paul A. M. (1902-84); Rudolf Peierls (1907-95); Maurice H. L. Pryce (1913-2003). On Lorentz invariance in the quantum theory. Offprint from Proceedings of the Cambridge Philosophical Society 38 (1941). 193-200 pp. 257 x 180 mm. Without wrappers as issued. Vertically creased, light toning but very good. First Edition, Offprint Issue. In the 1930s Subramanyan Chandrasekhar, who would win the 1983 Nobel Prize in physics for his work on the structure and evolution of stars, came up with a generalized standard model for certain types of stars that made use of relativistic Fermi-Dirac statistics and other quantum-mechanical concepts. Arthur Eddington, the distinguished British astrophysicist, objected to Chandrasekhar's methods and his conclusions, arguing against them both in person and in print. In the present paper Dirac, Peierls and Pryce countered Eddington's arguments, "[showing] in particular that the dynamics of atomic systems did allow one to perform correctly all of the procedures [Eddington] had criticized. Thus, they simply confirmed the general opinion of the community of physicists, namely: 'Eddington's system of mechanics is in many respects completely different from quantum mechanics'" (Mehra & Rechenberg, The Historical Development of Quantum Theory, 6, p. 887). .…
