This website is dedicated to the achievements of prof. Jerzy Franciszek Plebański. Jerzy Franciszek Plebański was a Polish theoretical physicist who has made contributions to general relativity and supergravity.

His work was devoted to:

  • nonlinear electrodynamics and quantization techniques,
  • relativistic equations of motion: “fast approximation”,
  • spinor connections,
  • a tensor, which was later named as Plebański tensor,
  • an action in field of general relativity, later named as Plebanski action,
  • heavenly equation. All vacuum and self-dual solutions of the Einstein equations satisfy it.

For his contribution to the development of science he received: 

  • Scientific Prize of the Ministry of Higher Education of the ler. Degree (May 1970), Poland.
  • Medal of the Commission of Public Education (November of 1973), Poland.
  • Knight of the Order of Poland Restituta (November 1973), Poland.
  • Aguila Azteca with the Degree of Encomienda (July 1976), Mexico.
  • Medal of the Mexican Society of Physics (November 1986), Mexico.
  • Heritage Chair of Exelencia I (January 1993), Mexico.
  • National Researcher Emeritus (1995) S.N.I.
  • The Cross of the Officer of the Order of Merit of the Republic of Poland (1998) Poland.
  • Official Diploma granted by the Commission of Scientific Sciences of Poland (1998) Poland.
