The particle's existence was missed by physicist Hermann Weyl during the initial development of quantum theory 85 years ago, say the researchers, because it violated a fundamental rule, called Lorentz symmetry, that does not apply in the materials where the new type of fermion arises.
Among the topics are the remarkable career of Otto Grun, Emmy Noether and Hermann Weyl, Abraham Robinson and his infinitesimals, Cahit Arf and his invariant, Heinrich-Wolfgang Leopoldt, and Hoechsmann's theorem.

Wong has studied in [15] the properties of pseudodifferential operators arising in quantum mechanics, first envisaged by Hermann Weyl in [14] as bounded linear operators on [L.sup.2](I[R.sub.n]) (the space of square integrable functions on I[R.sub.n] with respect to the Lebesgue measure).
