More and more frequently Einstein chose his assistants from mathematicians." One of the chief of them at that time was Professor Walter Mayer, a small round individual who, at first sight, seemed crushed beneath the personality of Einstein. Einstein's family called him Mayerle and this Swabian diminutive suited him to perfection. But in Mayer's self-effacement there was more affection than respect. He gently contradicted Einstein, interrupted him when necessary, follwed up an argument and smiled a little mysteriously, his head on one side, as he watched the figures drawn up in front of him. "It is he who produced all my calculations; his skill is fantastic, you know, "Einstein used to say. In October 1933 Mayer followed Einstein in his American exile. -cf.

First edition. UNIFIED FIELD THEORY. First edition, extremely rare author's presentation offprints (("Überreicht vom Verfasser", not to be confused with the much more common trade separates - see below), from the library of the great German physicist Arnold Sommerfeld, of Einstein's most important early publications on unified field theory. Einstein's work on unified field theory was inspired by James Clerk Maxwell's success in finding a unified theory of electricity and magnetism, one of the greatest achievements of nineteenth-century physics, which showed that light was a form of electromagnetic wave, and made possible modern inventions such as radio, television and the telephone. Einstein's contributions in this area represent about a quarter of his entire research output and half his scientific production after 1920. Although he was ultimately unsuccessful, a similar vision was realized in the decades after his death in the construction of the 'standard model', a unified theory of electromagnetism with the weak and strong nuclear forces (which were unknown in Einstein's time), and efforts to incorporate gravity into the model continue to this day. 'Zur allgemeinen Relativitätstheorie', written on board ship during his return journey from Japan, "gives us insight into the workings of Einstein's mind as it searched for a unified theory of gravitation and electromagnetism, a search that would dominate his thinking for the rest of his life" (Collected Papers 13, p. lxxvii). 'Einheitliche Feldtheorie von Gravitation und Elektrizität' was the first paper to use the term 'Unified Field Theory' in its title. In its opening paragraph, Einstein wrote: "After incessant search during the last two years, I now believe I have found the true solution" (Pais, Subtle is the Lord, p. 343). The half-dozen papers Einstein had already written on unified field theory were reactions to the ideas of others, such as Eddington, Kaluza and Weyl; it was in this paper that Einstein put forward the first original approach of his own. "His theory rested in major part on the following arithmetical coincidence. In one of the customary ways of describing electromagnetism 6 field quantities are used. The metrical tensor [of general relativity] has a certain symmetry. Remove that symmetry and it will automatically contain not 10 but 16 field quantities. Use 10 combinations of these for gravitation and there will be 6 left over - just the number of field quantities with which to represent electromagnetism" (Hoffmann, Einstein, p. 225). In 1928, Einstein embarked upon a new approach to a unified field theory involving what he called 'distant parallelism.' This was introduced in 'Riemann-Geometrie mit Aufrechterhaltung des Begriffes des Fernparallelismus' and 'Neue Möglichkeit für eine einheitliche Feldtheorie von Gravitation und Elektrizität.' By early 1929 he had solved the main problems involved in writing down field equations for his unified theory and presented his solution in 'Zur einheitlichen Feldtheorie'. "[Einstein] did propose [in this last paper] a set of field equations, but added that 'further investigations will have to show whether [these] will give an interpretation of the physical qualities of space'. His attempt to derive his equations from a variational principle had to be withdrawn. Nevertheless, in 1929 he had 'hardly any doubt' that he was on the right track" (Pais, p. 346). "Within three days, the first printing of the journal offprint [i.e., the commercial separate]-a thousand copies-sold out, and another thousand copies were soon printed. Soon thereafter, Nature's News and Views section published a more accessible account of the work, including a quote by Einstein: 'Now, but only now, we know that the force which moves electrons in their ellipses about the nuclei of atoms is the same force which moves our earth in its annual course about the sun, and is the same force which brings to us the rays of light and heat which make life possible upon this planet.' With Einstein's 50th birthday approaching, his new idea rapidly caught fire, at least in the popular press. The New York Times published almost a dozen articles that year about distant parallelism, rivaling its coverage of the 1919 eclipse results" (Halpern). "In this frenzied, unscientific atmosphere, Einstein's new theory was hailed in the press as an outstanding scientific advance. Yet Einstein had stated in his article that it was still tentative; and soon he found he had to abandon it" (Hoffman, p. 226). Only paper III was present in the collection of presentation offprints of Einstein's son Hans Albert (Christie's 2006), and in Einstein's own collection (Christie's 2008); and no other copies of any of the offprints with "Überreicht vom Verfasser" can be identified on RBH. Similarly, although several copies of each offprint can be found in institutional collections, it is unclear how many are presentation offprints as the library records do not mention "Überreicht vom Verfasser". Provenance: Arnold Sommerfeld (1868-1951) (his ink stamp on the front cover of III-V and characteristic numbering in red pencil on each - 40, 45, 47, 48, 49). "The son of a physician, Sommerfeld was educated at the University of Königsberg. After teaching briefly at the universities of Göttingen, Clausthal, and Aachen he was appointed professor of physics at the University of Münich in 1906. Sommerfeld should have retired in 1936 in favour of his pupil, Werner Heisenberg. Opposition from the Nazi party to Heisenberg's appointment prolonged Sommerfeld's tenure and it was not in fact until late 1939 that he finally retired, to be succeeded not by Heisenberg but by Wilhelm Müller, a Nazi aerodynamicist without a single publication in physics to his credit. Although Sommerfeld and Heisenberg were not Jewish, they were regarded by the Nazis as Jewish sympathizers. Sommerfeld, however, survived the war and returned to his Münich chair in 1945, continuing to work at physics until he di.…
