Abstract

The present article gives a general discussion of the problems arising in a theory of elementary particles, together with a survey of papers1-6 that have been published on this subject in German periodicals. These papers deal with a special model for the theory of elementary particles that has been constructed to show some of the main features of such a theory; the author believes that the model does in fact represent a system of elementary particles and their interactions in a manner qualitatively suitable also for the real system of particles.
