Tracing individual knowledge trajectories in a changing field: the case of general relativity and gravitation

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 16, 2026 · UTC

Historians have reconstructed the twentieth-century transformation of general relativity and gravitation (GRG) at the field level and through individual careers, but connecting these scales requires a way to compare researchers with the changing field over time. We develop such a comparison, setting a researcher's publications and references against GRG field literature from the same, earlier, and later two-year periods. Building on Own Vocabulary and Embedding Density Estimation from our earlier two-case study (arXiv:2501.00391), we extend the analysis to the fifty most-published authors in a
