Abstract
The present review intends to provide an overall picture of the research concerning classical unified field theory, worldwide, in the decades between the mid-1930 and mid-1960. Main themes are the conceptual and methodical development of the field, the interaction among the scientists working in it, their opinions and interpretations. Next to the most prominent players, A. Einstein and E. Schr?dinger, V. Hlavaty and the French groups around A. Lichnerowicz, M.-A. Tonnelat, and Y. Thiry are presented. It is shown that they have given contributions of comparable importance. The review also includes a few sections on the fringes of the central topic like Born-Infeld electromagnetic theory or scalar-tensor theory. Some comments on the structure and organization of research-groups are also made.
本文概述了20世纪30年代中期至60年代中期，世界范围内关于经典统一场论的研究概况。主要主题是该领域的概念和方法的发展，在该领域工作的科学家之间的互动，他们的观点和解释。在最杰出的球员之后，A.爱因斯坦和E. Schr?丁格(dinger)、V.赫拉瓦蒂(V. Hlavaty)以及围绕在A. Lichnerowicz、m . A. A. a。Tonnelat，和y。这表明他们作出了相当重要的贡献。这篇综述还包括一些关于中心主题的边缘部分，如Born-Infeld电磁理论或标量张量理论。对课题组的结构和组织也作了一些评论。
期刊介绍：
Living Reviews in Relativity is a peer-reviewed, platinum open-access journal that publishes reviews of research across all areas of relativity. Directed towards the scientific community at or above the graduate-student level, articles are solicited from leading authorities and provide critical assessments of current research. They offer annotated insights into key literature and describe available resources, maintaining an up-to-date suite of high-quality reviews, thus embodying the "living" aspect of the journal's title.
Serving as a valuable tool for the scientific community, Living Reviews in Relativity is often the first stop for researchers seeking information on current work in relativity. Written by experts, the reviews cite, explain, and assess the most relevant resources in a given field, evaluating existing work and suggesting areas for further research.
Attracting readers from the entire relativity community, the journal is useful for graduate students conducting literature surveys, researchers seeking the latest results in unfamiliar fields, and lecturers in need of information and visual materials for presentations at all levels.
