Date: 23 April 1952

Description

Sectional committee: Mathematics

Recommended for publication in the Proceedings. Dirac writes: 'The appendix is longer that its importance justifies. the argument from equation (A6) to equation (15) need not be given in detail; it would be sufficient to state the results. P 28 should be condensed to correspond.'
