Zusammenfassung: | EPJ H 44 (2019) 381 Considered one of the founding fathers of integral geometry, Luis Santal\'o
has contributed to various areas of mathematics. His work has applications in
number theory, in the theory of differential equations, in stochastic geometry,
in functional analysis, and also in theoretical physics. Between the 1950's and
the 1970's, he wrote a series of papers on general relativity and on the
attempts at generalizing Einstein's theory to formulate a unified field theory.
His main contribution in this subject was to provide a classification theorem
for the plethora of tensors that were populating Einstein's generalized theory.
This paper, which is the transcript of the conferences delivered by the authors
in occasion of the celebration of the 100th anniversary of Luis Santal\'o's
birth, revisits his work on theoretical physics. |
