Mathematical physics

This book provides an introduction to the methods of coupled quantum statistical field theory and Green's functions.

An important task of theoretical quantum physics is the building of idealized mathematical models to describe the properties of quantum matter.

The standard starting point in cosmology is the cosmological principle; the assumption that the universe is spatially homogeneous and isotropic.

Hyperbolic Dynamics and Brownian Motion illustrates the interplay between distinct domains of mathematics.

Quantum Field Theory (QFT) has proved to be the most useful strategy for the description of elementary particle interactions and as such is regarded as a fundamental part of modern theoretical physics.

Mathematical physics provides physical theories with their logical basis and the tools for drawing conclusions from hypotheses.

The worlds of Wall Street and The City have always held a certain allure, but in recent years have left an indelible mark on the wider public consciousness and there has been a need to become more financially literate.

Computation and its Limits is an innovative cross-disciplinary investigation of the relationship between computing and physical reality.

This text presents the two complementary aspects of thermal physics as an integrated theory of the properties of matter.

Our understanding of the physical universe underwent a revolution in the early twentieth century - evolving from the classical physics of Newton, Galileo, and Maxwell to the modern physics of relativity and quantum mechanics.

Most of the solid materials we use in everyday life, from plastics to cosmetic gels exist under a non-crystalline, amorphous form: they are glasses.

The book is based on the lectures delivered at the XCIII Session of the Ecole de Physique des Houches, held in August, 2009.

Quantum cohomology has its origins in symplectic geometry and algebraic geometry, but is deeply related to differential equations and integrable systems.

The main goal of this work is to familiarize the reader with a tool, the path integral, that offers an alternative point of view on quantum mechanics, but more important, under a generalized form, has become the key to a deeper understanding of quantum field theory and its applications, which extend from particle physics to phase transitions or properties of quantum gases.

Generalized dynamic thermoelasticity is a vital area of research in continuum mechanics, free of the classical paradox of infinite propagation speeds of thermal signals in Fourier-type heat conduction.

The subject of this book is the Casimir effect, a manifestation of zero-point oscillations of the quantum vacuum resulting in forces acting between closely spaced bodies.

This book gives the complete theory of the irreducible representations of the crystallographic point groups and space groups.
