In radiophysics, the Luxemburg–Gorky effect (named after Radio Luxemburg and Gorky Park)^[1] is a phenomenon of cross modulation between two radio waves, one of which is strong, passing through the same part of a medium, especially a conductive region of atmosphere or a plasma.^[2]

In the paper "An hereditary theory of the Luxemburg effect" (English translation of the title), written only few years after the discovery of the effect itself, Dario Graffi proposes a theory of the Luxemburg effect based on Volterra's theory of hereditary phenomena.
