This volume contains a selection of contributions by prominent mathematicians from the many interesting presentations delivered at the Conference of Mathematics and Mathematical Physics that was held in Fez, Morocco duing the period of 28-30 October, 2008.
This book is addressed to graduate students and research workers in theoretical physics who want a thorough introduction to group theory and Hopf algebras.
This distinctive volume presents a clear, rigorous grounding in modern nonlinear integrable dynamics theory and applications in mathematical physics, and an introduction to timely leading-edge developments in the field - including some innovations by the authors themselves - that have not appeared in any other book.
This volume is based on lectures given during the program "e;Complex Quantum Systems"e; held at the National University of Singapore's Institute for Mathematical Sciences from 17 February to 27 March 2010.
In this second edition, a comprehensive review is given for path integration in two- and three-dimensional (homogeneous) spaces of constant and non-constant curvature, including an enumeration of all the corresponding coordinate systems which allow separation of variables in the Hamiltonian and in the path integral.
Based on lectures held at the 7th Villa de Leyva summer school, this book presents an introduction to topics of current interest in the interface of geometry, topology and physics.
Although contact geometry and topology is briefly discussed in V I Arnol'd's book "e;Mathematical Methods of Classical Mechanics "e;(Springer-Verlag, 1989, 2nd edition), it still remains a domain of research in pure mathematics, e.
Atomic correlations have been studied in physics for over 50 years and known as collective effects until recently when they came to be recognized as a source of entanglement.
This book aims to provide advanced students and researchers with the text on a nonperturbative, thermodynamically grounded, and largely analytical approach to four-dimensional Quantum Gauge Theory.
This book highlights the mathematical and physical properties of acoustical sources with singularities located in the complex plane and presents the application of such special elements to solve acoustical radiation and scattering problems.
This book summarizes unique research findings on the hydrodynamic behavior of ice particles (ice crystals, snow, graupel and hailstones) in the atmosphere.
'The third edition of this book is designed to carefully and coherently introduce fractional calculus to physicists, by applying the ideas to two distinct applications: classical problems and multi-particle quantum problems.
The book presents the main approaches in study of algebraic structures of symmetries in models of theoretical and mathematical physics, namely groups and Lie algebras and their deformations.
This unique book complements traditional textbooks by providing a visual yet rigorous survey of the mathematics used in theoretical physics beyond that typically covered in undergraduate math and physics courses.
The book aims to analyze and explore deep and profound relations between string field theory, higher spin gauge theories and holography - the disciplines that have been on the cutting edge of theoretical high energy physics and other fields.
This volume, recording the 10th international symposium honoring noted French mathematical physicist Jean-Pierre Vigier surveys and continues to develop Unified Field Mechanics (UFM) from the perspective of Multiverse cosmology and Topological Field Theory.
In the 25 years since their introduction, Higgs bundles have seen a surprising number of interactions within different areas of mathematics and physics.
We introduce the theory of chemical reaction networks and their relation to stochastic Petri nets - important ways of modeling population biology and many other fields.
This volume consists of the scientific work presented at the 14th Regional Conference on Mathematical Physics, held in November 2015 in Islamabad, Pakistan, and dedicated to the memory of Riazuddin, the first Pakistani PhD student of the late Nobel laureate, Abdus Salam, and one of the pioneers who developed physics in Pakistan.
The main goal is to offer to readers a panorama of recent progress in nonlinear physics, complexity and transport with attractive chapters readable by a broad audience.
Starting from Sophus Lie, the invariance of a differential equation under its continuous group of symmetries has become a major tool for solving ordinary and partial differential equations, in particular, nonlinear ones.
The second edition of this book deals, as the first, with the foundations of classical physics from the 'symplectic' point of view, and of quantum mechanics from the 'metaplectic' point of view.
