This book is a self-contained advanced textbook on the mathematical-physical aspects of quantum many-body systems, which begins with a pedagogical presentation of the necessary background information before moving on to subjects of active research, including topological phases o…
Ch. I. Phenomenological theory of first-order phase transitions. 1. Introduction. 2. Basic concepts of the Landau theory of phase transitions. 3. The angular and radial problems in the Landau theory of structural transitions. 4. Symmetry predicted first-order phase transitions. …
This book deals with the phenomenological theory of first-order structural phase transitions, with a special emphasis on reconstructive transformations in which a group-subgroup relationship between the symmetries of the phases is absent. It starts with a unified presentation of…
