We sadly learned during this school that our friend Jean Eisenstaedt passed away in Paris on October 9.
Jean was a research director at CNRS and a member of SYRTE at the Paris Observatory.
A historian of science, he specialized in special and general relativity, the history of optics,
and astronomy. He contributed to the edition of the Collected Papers of Albert Einstein
(Princeton University Press) as well as the Œuvres Choisies d’Einstein (Seuil),
and published numerous articles on the history of general relativity
(particularly on black holes), the prehistory (18th century) of relativity theories,
and Newtonian optics.
We, Giuseppe and Júlio, dedicate this school to his memory.
(Un hommage à Jean par Júlio.)
The school aims to bring together both graduate students and specialists working in mathematical physics, in particular, in field theory and gravitation.
