Book Description
The Wigner Symposia deal with the most recent developments in those mathematical areas which were introduced to physics by E P Wigner, and also with related fields. The central themes of the proceedings of the 5th Wigner Symposium (WigSym5) are quantum algebras and groups, group-theoretical developments, quantum field theory and geometry, and phase space formulations of quantum mechanics. The proceedings also contain papers on the application of these techniques in various branches of physics, and many contributions in which fundamental mathematical and epistemological questions related to the foundations of quantum theory are discussed.

Generalised Thermostatistics
Author: Jan Naudts
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 0857293559
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 209
Book Description
The domain of non-extensive thermostatistics has been subject to intensive research over the past twenty years and has matured significantly. Generalised Thermostatistics cuts through the traditionalism of many statistical physics texts by offering a fresh perspective and seeking to remove elements of doubt and confusion surrounding the area. The book is divided into two parts - the first covering topics from conventional statistical physics, whilst adopting the perspective that statistical physics is statistics applied to physics. The second developing the formalism of non-extensive thermostatistics, of which the central role is played by the notion of a deformed exponential family of probability distributions. Presented in a clear, consistent, and deductive manner, the book focuses on theory, part of which is developed by the author himself, but also provides a number of references towards application-based texts. Written by a leading contributor in the field, this book will provide a useful tool for learning about recent developments in generalized versions of statistical mechanics and thermodynamics, especially with respect to self-study. Written for researchers in theoretical physics, mathematics and statistical mechanics, as well as graduates of physics, mathematics or engineering. A prerequisite knowledge of elementary notions of statistical physics and a substantial mathematical background are required.

Quantization, Coherent States, and Complex Structures
Author: J-P Antoine
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1489910603
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
The XIIIth Bialowieza Summer Workshop was held from July 9 to 15, 1994. While still within the general framework of Differential Geometric Methods in Physics, the XnIth Workshop was expanded in scope to include quantum groups, q-deformations and non-commutative geometry. It is expected that lectures on these topics will now become an integral part of future workshops. In the more traditional areas, lectures were devoted to topics in quantization, field theory, group representations, coherent states, complex and Poisson structures, the Berry phase, graded contractions and some infinite-dimensional systems. Those of us who have taken part in the evolution of the workshops over the years, feel a good measure of satisfaction with the excellent quality of the papers presented, in particular the mathematical rigour and novelty. Each year a significant number of new results are presented and future directions of research are discussed. Their freshness and immediacy inevitably leads to intense discussions and an exchange of ideas in an informal and physically charming environment. The present workshop also had a higher attendance than its predecessors, with ap proximately 65 registered participants. As usual, there was a large number of graduate students and young researchers among them.

Philosophical Reflections and Syntheses
Author: Eugene Paul Wigner
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3642783740
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 631
Book Description
Among the founding fathers of modern quantum physics few have contributed to our basic understanding of its concepts as much as E.P. Wigner. His articles on the epistemology of quantum mechanics and the measurement problem, and the basic role of symmetries were of fundamental importance for all subsequent work. He was also the first to discuss the concept of consciousness from the point of view of modern physics. G.G. Emch edited most of those papers and wrote a very helpful introduction into Wigner's contributions to Natural Philosophy. The book should be a gem for all those interested in the history and philosophy of science.
