| ``1/72 in Bloch's theorem''

| I'm curious about this 1/72 in this article on Bloch's theorem that is currently tagged as "unproven." (If it weren't for that literal, I wouldn't care less about it).
I thought maybe Wikipedia might say something about it, but apparently in physics there is something else called Bloch's theorem, which has to do with a model of particle physics known as Bloch waves. This was studied by Felix Bloch, who from the WP article about him one might deduce he didn't much care about math not applicable to physics.
Next I thought of looking at Mathworld (please put away the garlic and crosses). The MW article on topology cites a book by E. Bloch, A First Course in Geometric Topology and Differential Geometry. This E. Bloch is probably neither the composer Ernest Bloch nor the Marxist philosopher Ernst Bloch.
In short, this entry raises a lot of questions besides how to prove Bloch's theorem. |
