The Abraham–Minkowski controversy is a physics debate concerning electromagnetic momentum within dielectric media. [1] [2] Two equations were first suggested by Hermann Minkowski (1908) [3] and Max Abraham (1909) [4] [5] for this momentum. They predict different values, from which the name of the controversy derives. [6]
Hermann Minkowski Poincaré's attempt of a four-dimensional reformulation of the new mechanics was not continued by himself, [ 54 ] so it was Hermann Minkowski (1907), who worked out the consequences of that notion (other contributions were made by Roberto Marcolongo (1906) and Richard Hargreaves (1908) [ 88 ] ).

In the geometry of numbers, the subspace theorem was obtained by Wolfgang M. Schmidt in 1972. [6] It states that if n is a positive integer, and L 1,...,L n are linearly independent linear forms in n variables with algebraic coefficients and if ε>0 is any given real number, then the non-zero integer points x in n coordinates with
Oskar Minkowski (/ m ɪ ŋ ˈ k ɔː f s k i,-ˈ k ɒ f-/; [1] German: [mɪŋˈkɔfski] 13 January 1858 – 18 July 1931) was a German physician and physiologist who held a professorship at the University of Breslau and is most famous for his research on diabetes. He was the brother of the mathematician Hermann Minkowski and father of ...
