Detailed exchanges and discussions arising from Peierls's papers 'Reflections on broken symmetry' (Physics Today, 44, 1991), 'Spontaneously broken symmetries' (Journal of Physics A, 24, 1991) and 'Broken symmetries' (Contemporary Physics, 33, 1992), and Stevens's paper on antiferromagnetism.

Swiatecki, described by Peierls as 'a bright student who came [to Birmingham] in 1946' (Bird of Passage, p. 251), later worked at Berkeley, USA. Correspondence relates to general relativity.

Anecdotes about Pauli, and other topics in history of physics.

Correspondence on various research problems and publications, including work by Thellung on evaluation of Kubo formulae started at Birmingham with G.V. Chester during Thellung's visit in 1950s (Bird of Passage, p. 229), momentum and pseudomomentum.

Nicole Vinh Mau had been a student at Birmingham. Later she was Chairman of the Theoretical Department of the Nuclear Physics Institute at Orsay Paris where Peierls was a frequent visitor (see Bird of Passage, p. 332). They wrote a collaborative paper 'Local approximation to non-local potentials' (Nuclear Physics A, 343, 1980). Correspondence includes detailed correspondence, discussion, referees' comments etc on collaborative…

Mainly discussion and drafts for paper.

Correspondence includes detailed correspondence, discussion, referees' comments etc on collaborative paper, Peierls's visits, seminars and lectures. Includes some personal and family news.
