STP, DIAS : Celebrating Synge Week - 23-30 March Day 6: Synge was appointed Professor Emeritus in 1972. After his retirement he remained active for a long time and maintained very strong links with the Institute, coming in regularly for discussions, in particular with J.T. Lewis.

STP, DIAS : Celebrating Synge Week - 23-30 March 2021. Day Five - Synge’s main lines of work were in general relativity and classical physics, but he also worked on various other topics including the hypercircle method in function space.

STP, DIAS : Celebrating Synge Week - 23-30 March 2021. Day Four - Synge presented Eamon de Valera with signed first editions of Relativity: The Special Theory (1956) & Relativity: The General Theory (1960). Both are housed in the de Valera Collection in the STP Library
