An Introduction to Chaos in Nonequilibrium Statistical Mechanics
Av J. R. Dorfman, Peter Goddard
Häftad, 1999
1074 kr
Lägg i varukorg
This book is an introduction to the applications in nonequilibrium statistical mechanics of chaotic dynamics, and also to the use of techniques in statistical mechanics important for an understanding of the chaotic behaviour of fluid systems. The fundamental concepts of dynamical systems theory are …
The Analysis of Space-Time Singularities
Häftad, 1994
878 kr
Lägg i varukorg
The theorems of Hawking and Penrose show that space-times are likely to contain incomplete geodesics. Such geodesics are said to end at a singularity if it is impossible to continue the space-time and geodesic without violating the usual topological and smoothness conditions on the space-time. In …
Modern Cosmology and the Dark Matter Problem
Av D. W. Sciama, Peter Goddard m. fl.
Häftad, 1994
895 kr
Lägg i varukorg
This book shows how modern cosmology and astronomy have led to the need to introduce dark matter in the universe. Some of this dark matter is in the familiar form of protons, electrons and neutrons, but most of it must have a more exotic form. The favoured, but not the only, possibility is …

The Path to Feynman Diagrams
Häftad, 1994
553 kr
Lägg i varukorg
This author provides an easily accessible introduction to quantum field theory via Feynman rules and calculations in particle physics. His aim is to make clear what the physical foundations of present-day field theory are, to clarify the physical content of Feynman rules. The book begins with a …
Lie Algebras, Geometry, and Toda-Type Systems
Av Alexander V. Razumov, Mikhail V. Saveliev
Häftad, 1997
781 kr
Lägg i varukorg
This book introduces the use of Lie algebra and differential geometry methods to study nonlinear integrable systems of Toda type. Many challenging problems in theoretical physics are related to the solution of nonlinear systems of partial differential equations. One of the most fruitful approaches …
Self-Organized Criticality
Emergent Complex Behavior in Physical and Biological Systems
Häftad, 1998
878 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Self-organized criticality (SOC) is based upon the idea that complex behavior can develop spontaneously in certain multi-body systems whose dynamics vary abruptly. This book is a clear and concise introduction to the field of self-organized criticality, and contains an overview of the main research …
Scaling and Renormalization in Statistical Physics
Av John Cardy, Peter Goddard m. fl.
Häftad, 1996
976 kr
Lägg i varukorg
This text provides a thoroughly modern graduate-level introduction to the theory of critical behaviour. Beginning with a brief review of phase transitions in simple systems and of mean field theory, the text then goes on to introduce the core ideas of the renormalization group. Following chapters …
Lattice Models of Polymers
Av Carlo Vanderzande, Peter Goddard m. fl.
Häftad, 1998
993 kr
Lägg i varukorg
This book provides an introduction to lattice models of polymers. This is an important topic both in the theory of critical phenomena and the modelling of polymers. The first two chapters introduce the basic theory of random, directed and self-avoiding walks. The next two chapters develop and …
Is the Universe Open or Closed?
The Density of Matter in the Universe
Häftad, 1997
1090 kr
Lägg i varukorg
This controversial book examines one of the most fundamental questions of modern cosmology: how much matter is there in the Universe? This issue affects theories of the origin and evolution of the Universe as well as its geometrical structure and ultimate fate. The authors discuss all the relevant …
Black Hole Uniqueness Theorems
Av Markus Heusler, Peter Goddard m. fl.
Häftad, 1996
924 kr
Lägg i varukorg
This timely review provides a self-contained introduction to the mathematical theory of stationary black holes and a self-consistent exposition of the corresponding uniqueness theorems. The opening chapters examine the general properties of space-times admitting Killing fields and derive the …
Dirac Operators and Spectral Geometry
Av Giampiero Esposito, Peter Goddard m. fl.
Häftad, 1998
796 kr
Lägg i varukorg
The Dirac operator has many useful applications in theoretical physics and mathematics. This book provides a clear, concise and self-contained introduction to the global theory of the Dirac operator and to the analysis of spectral asymptotics with local or non-local boundary conditions. The theory …
Quantum Chromodynamics and the Pomeron
Inbunden, 2023
1482 kr
Lägg i varukorg
This volume describes the Pomeron, an object of crucial importance in very high energy particle physics. Starting with a general description of the Pomeron within the framework of Regge theory, the emergence of the Pomeron within scalar field theory is discussed, providing a natural foundation on …
