"Self-contained, clearly written, and well organized, this book forms a reference for graduate students and researchers in theoretical physics, applied mathematics, statistical physics, and fluid dynamics."--Jacket.
The Casimir effect is a quantum force of attraction between two parallel uncharged conducting plates. More generally, it refers to the interaction between material bodies due to quantum fluctuations in whatever fields are relevant.
In its simplest manifestation, the Casimir effect is a quantum force of attraction between two parallel uncharged conducting plates. More generally, it refers to the interaction - which may be either attractive or repulsive - between material bodies due to quantum fluctuations i…
"This book provides a simple, but mathematically rigorous, introduction to perturbative renormalization. It can be read by students from the third year on and will lead them to a level where they can start reading the current research literature. The book gives a thorough introd…
"This book provides a gentle introduction to the physics of quantized fields and many-body physics. Based on courses taught at the University of Illinois, it concentrates on the basic conceptual issues that many students find difficult. It also emphasizes the physical and visual…
W-symmetry is an extension of conformal symmetry in two dimensions. Since its introduction in 1985, W-symmetry has become one of the central notions in the study of two-dimensional conformal field theory. The mathematical structures that underlie W-symmetry are so-called W-algeb…
