Provides the means to master gauge field theory prior to the advanced study of quantum mechanics. This book begins with the basic concepts on which gauge field theory is built. It introduces gauge-invariant Lagrangians and describes the spectra of linear perturbations, including perturbations above nontrivial ground states.

Presents an analysis of the persistent difficulties of defining inertial mass in a noncircular manner. This book discusses the related question of whether mass is an observational or a theoretical concept. It also studies the notion of mass in special relativity.

(Hardback)

An introduction to the area of condensed matter in a nutshell. This textbook covers the standard topics, including crystal structures, energy bands, phonons, optical properties, ferroelectricity, superconductivity, and magnetism.

These two new collections, numbers 28 and 29 respectively in the Annals of Mathematics Studies, continue the high standard set by the earlier Annals Studies 20 and 24 by bringing together important contributions to the theories of games and of nonlinear differential equations.

(Paperback)

Offers advanced graduate students and researchers with a text that discusses the dynamic electromagnetism of the cosmos - that is, the vast magnetic fields that are carried bodily in the swirling ionized gases of stars and galaxies and throughout intergalactic space.

A personal tour through the world of physics--from Newton's laws to quantum mechanics--by one of the most celebrated physicists of the twentieth century

(Paperback)

In this book, Robert Israel considers classical and quantum lattice systems in terms of equilibrium statistical mechanics. He is especially concerned with the characterization of translation-invariant equilibrium states by a variational principle and the use of convexity in studying these states. Arthur Wightman's Introduction gives a general and h

Volume XI of the High Speed Aerodynamics and Jet Propulsion series. Edited by W.R. Hawthorne and W.T. Olson. This is a comprehensive presentation of basic problems involved in the design of aircraft gas turbines, including sections covering requirements and processes, experimental techniques, fuel injection, flame stabilization, mixing processes, f

(Paperback)

Explains diffusive motion and its relation to both nonrelativistic quantum theory and quantum field theory. This book shows how diffusive motion concepts lead to a radical reexamination of the structure of mathematical analysis.
