“With his student, <strong>Andre</strong> <strong>Petermann</strong>, he invented 1951 the<br />
renormalization group, which is now essential to the construction of<br />
grand unified theories, and for which Kenneth Wilson later won a<br />
physics Nobel Prize.<br />
“To be exact, I [<strong>Andre</strong>as Aste] have to mention that André<br />
<strong>Petermann</strong> informed me via e-mail on January 21, 2007, that:<br />
“‘I was not really a student of Stueckelberg, but a recently<br />
graduate mathematician working on direct products of generalized<br />
functions and on the space on wich [sic] they can be defined.<br />

Stueckelberg, having such a problem with his student T.A.Green, in<br />
the work they were doing in S-matrix theory, asked me if I would be<br />
interested in working at the Swiss Atomic Energy Commission, in order<br />
to deal with this problem in a mathematical way, according to<br />
Schwartz, Sobolev and others. I took the job, and Stueckelberg<br />
became more my boss than my professor and later my beloved friend.<br />
I worked there during three years, leaving (on the advice of<br />
Stueckelberg) to go to Niels Bohr in Copenhagen. Best regards, André<br />
<strong>Petermann</strong>.’”<br />

“Le presént travail constitue, á des détails près, une thèse<br />
présentée par l’un de nous (P) à l’Université de Lausanne, le 9 mai<br />
1952, pour l’obtention du grade de Docteur ès Sciences.”<br />
“L’un de nous (ST) tient à remercier M.N. Bohr; c’est en effet,<br />
lors d’un séjour à Copenhague, en 1947, qu’il a pu mettre au point ses<br />
notions sur la causalité. Nous remercions en outré M.G. De Rham<br />
d’avoir attire notre attention sur les travaux de M. Schwartz.”<br />
