Referee's report by Nevill Francis Mott, on a paper 'Operator calculus in the electron theory of metals' by K Fuchs

Reference number: RR/67/179

Date: April 1940

Description

Sectional committee: Physics

He cannot report on the paper, as he doesn't have enough knowledge about operator calculus. The paper should be send to Paul Adrien Maurice Dirac instead. The author states that applications will be made in a later paper, but he thinks both papers shouldbe published together.

[Published in Proceedings of the Royal Society A, 1940].
