Part of the book series: Gesammelte Werke / Collected Works ((HEISENBERG,volume B))

Abstract

Progress in the unified field theory of elementary particles over the last seven years includes experimental verification of the scale group and its application in theoretical investigations; connecting the unified field theory with phenomenological current algebra; exploring the consequences of the indefinite metric for the problem of causality and the classification of leptons; elaboration of methods for the calculation of mass eigenvalues; and experimental verification of the predicted behavior of cross-sections at extremely high energies.

Der vorliegende Vortrag wurde im Frühjahr 1973 an verschiedenen Universitäten in den USA gehalten und wird daher hier in englischer Sprache wiedergegeben.
