Volume 1+2 [Set Higher Spin Field Theory, Vol 1+2]

Anders Bengtsson

Teil des mehrbändigen Werks Higher Spin Field Theory

Mehr Zitieren

This monograph takes stock of the situation in higher spin gauge theories for the first time. Besides a thorough recapitulation of the field's history, it reviews the progress that has been made and offers a pedagogical introduction to the subject. Abstract approaches to the theory are offered to facilitate a conceptual rethinking of the main problems and to help see patterns hidden by heavy formalism.

Mehr Zitieren

This work concerns the computational modelling of the dynamics of partially ionized gases, with emphasis on electrodischarge processes. Understanding gas discharges is fundamental for many processes in mechanics, manufacturing, materials science, and aerospace engineering.

Volume 2 Interactions

Teil des mehrbändigen Werks Higher Spin Field Theory

Mehr Zitieren

This book is an introduction to the theory of interacting higher spin gauge fields. It describes in a pedagogical way the methods used, and the results obtained, within the three major approaches to the subject: the Dirac light-front theory, the Fronsdal covariant approach and the Vasiliev AdS theory. Abstract concepts and methods unifying the various appproaches are pointed out. The book follows the ideas behind the first volume; explains the mathematical concepts and tools used, while also reviewing the history of the subject.

Phonon Focusing and Phonon Transport

In Single-Crystal Nanostructures

Igor Gaynitdinovich Kuleyev, Ivan Igorevich Kuleyev, Sergey Mikhailovich Bakharev, Vladimir Vasilyevich Ustinov

Mehr Zitieren

The monograph is devoted to the investigation of physical processes that govern the phonon transport in bulk and nanoscale single-crystal samples of cubic symmetry. Special emphasis is given to the study of phonon focusing in cubic crystals and its influence on the boundary scattering and lattice thermal conductivity of bulk materials and nanostructures.

Coherent Quantum Physics

A Reinterpretation of the Tradition

Arnold Neumaier

Mehr Zitieren

This book introduces mathematicians, physicists, and philosophers to a new, coherent approach to theory and interpretation of quantum physics, in which classical and quantum thinking live peacefully side by side and jointly fertilize the intuition. The formal, mathematical core of quantum physics is cleanly separated from the interpretation issues. The book demonstrates that the universe can be rationally and objectively understood from the smallest to the largest levels of modeling. The thermal interpretation featured in this book succeeds without any change in the theory. It involves one radical step, the reinterpretation of an assumption that was virtually never questioned before - the traditional eigenvalue link between theory and observation is replaced by a q-expectation link: Objective properties are given by q-expectations of products of quantum fields and what is computable from these. Averaging over macroscopic spacetime regions produces macroscopic quantities with negligible uncertainty, and leads to classical physics.

- Reflects the actual practice of quantum physics.

- Models the quantum-classical interface through coherent spaces.

- Interprets both quantum mechanics and quantum field theory.

- Eliminates probability and measurement from the foundations.

- Proposes a novel solution of the measurement problem.

Metrology and Theory of Measurement

Valery A. Slaev, Anna G. Chunovkina, Leonid A. Mironovsky

Mehr Zitieren

Metrology is the science of measurements. As such, it deals with the problem of obtaining knowledge of physical reality through its quantifiable properties. The problems of measurement and of measurement accuracy are central to all natural and technical sciences.

Now in its second edition, this monograph conveys the fundamental theory of measurement and provides some algorithms for result testing and validation.

Transport of Infrared Atmospheric Radiation

Fundamentals of the Greenhouse Phenomenon

Boris M. Smirnov

Mehr Zitieren

This book sets out to give a rigorous mathematical description of the greenhouse effect through the theory of infrared atmospheric emission. In contrast to traditional climatological analysis, this approach eschews empirical relations in favour of a strict thermodynamical derivation, based on data from NASA and from the HITRAN spectroscopy database. The results highlight new aspects of the role of clouds in the greenhouse effect.

Quantum Systems, Channels, Information

A Mathematical Introduction

Alexander S. Holevo

Mehr Zitieren

Written by one of the founding fathers of Quantum Information, this book gives an accessible (albeit mathematically rigorous), self-contained introduction to quantum information theory. The central role is played by the concept of quantum channel and its entropic and information characteristics.

In this revised edition, the main results have been updated to reflect the most recent developments in this very active field of research.
