These symmetries become manifest in that the laws of nature areinvariant under spacetime tran sformations and/or gauge transformations. The consequences of these symmetries were analyzed as early as in 1918 by Emmy Noether on the level of action functionals. Her work did not receive due recognitionfor nearly half a century, but can today be unders tood as a recurring theme in classical mechanics, electrodynamics and special relativity, Yang-Mills type quantum field theories, and in general relativity. As a matter of fact, asshown in this monograph, many aspects of physics can be derived solely from symmetry considerations. This substantiates the statement of E.P. Wigner ... if we knew all the laws of nature, or the ultimate Law of nature, the invarianceproperties of these laws would not furnish us new information. Thanks to Wigner we now also under stand the implications of quantum physics and symmetry considerations: Poincare invariance dictates both the characteristic propertiesof particles (mass, spin, ...) and the wave equations of spin 0, 1/2, 1, ... objects. Further, the work of C.N. Yang and R. Mills reveals the consequences of internal symmetries as exemplified in the symmetry group of elementaryparticle physics. Given this pivotal role of symmetries it is thus not surprising that current research in fundamental physics is to a great degree motivated and inspired by considerations of symmetry. The treatment of symmetries inthis monograph ranges from classical physics to now well-established theories of fundamental interactions, to the latest research on unified theories and quantum gravity Contents: Preface Notation Introduction Symmetry: Argument, Principle, and Leitmotif Operations and Invariants Symmetries in Fundamental Physics The Scope of Symmetries Bibliographical Notes Classical Mechanics Newtonian and Analytical Mechanics Symmetries and Conservation Laws Galilei Group Electrodynamics and Special Relativity Electrodynamics la Maxwell Special Relativity Noether Theorems Poincar Transformations Generalizations of Poincar Symmetry On the Validity of Special Relativity Quantum Mechanics Principles of Quantum Mechan ISBN: 9789400776425 Series: eBooks Series: SpringerLink Series: Fundamental Theories of Physics : v176 Series: Physics and Astronomy (Springer-11651) Keywords: Quantum theory Availability: Click here to see Library holdings or inquire at Circ Desk (x3401) Click to reserve this book Be sure to include your ID please.

In addition, it contains a new chapter on coherent state quantization and the related probabilistic aspects. As a survey of the theory of coherentstates, wavelets, and some of their generaliz ations, it emphasizes mathematical principles, subsuming the theories of both wavelets and coherent states into a single analytic structure. The approach allows the user to take aclassical-like view of quantum states in physics. Starting from the standar d theory of coherent states over Lie groups, the authors generalize the formalism by associating coherent states to group representations that are squareintegrable over a homogeneous space a further step allows one to dispense with the group context altog ether. In this context, wavelets can be generated from coherent states of the affine group of the real line, and higher-dimensionalwavelets arise from coherent states of other groups. The unified background makes transparent an entire range of properties of wavelets and coherent states. Many concrete examples, such as coherent states from semisimple Lie groups,Gazeau-Klauder coherent states,coherent states forthe relativity groups, and several kinds of wavelets, are discussed in detail. The book concludes with a palette of potentialapplications, from the quantum physicallyoriented,likethe quantum-classical transition or the construction of adequate states in quantum information, to the most innovative techniques to be used in data processing. Intended as an introduction to current research forgraduate students and others entering the field, the mathematical discussion is self-contained.

Previous theories were mainly restricted to the Curie-Weiss law temperature dependence of magneticsusceptibilities. Based o n the spin amplitude conservation idea including the zero-point fluctuation amplitude, this book shows that the entire temperature and magnetic field dependence of magnetization curves, even in the groundstate, is determined by the effect of spin fluctuat ions. It also shows that the theoretical consequences are largely in agreement with many experimental observations. The readers will therefore gain a new comprehensive perspective oftheir unified understanding of itinerant electron magnetism Note: Springer eBooks Contents: Introduction Fluctuations and Magnetism Effects of Spin Fluctuations on Magnetic Properties Magnetic Propertiesin the Ordered Phase Thermal Properties of Itinerant Magnets Magneto Volume Effect ISBN: 9783642366666 Series: e-books Series: SpringerLink (Online service) Series: Springer Tracts in Modern Physics, 0081-3869 : v253 Series: Physics and Astronomy (Springer-11651) Keywords: Quality of Life , Mechanics , Quality of Life Research Availability: Click here to see Library holdings or inquire at Circ Desk (x3401) Click to reserve this book Be sure to include your ID please.

[electronic resource] : Conceptual Challenges at High Energy, Acceleration and Complexity Author(s): Tams Sndor Bir Date: 2011 Publisher: New York, NY : Springer New York Size: 1 online resource Note: Springer e-book platform Note: Springer 2013 e-book collections Note: Physical bodies can be hot or cold, moving or standing,simple or complex. In all such cases one assumes that their respective temperature is a well defined attribute. What if, however, the ordinary measurement of temperatureby direct body contact is not possible? One conjectures its value, and yes, its very existence, by reasoning based on basic principles of thermodynamics. Is There a Temperature? Conceptual Challenges at High Energy, Accelerationand Complexity, by Dr. Tams Sndor Br, begins by askin g the questions Do we understand and can we explain in a unified framework the temperature of distant radiation sources, including event horizons, and that of the quarkmatter produced in high energy accelerator experiments? Or the astounding fluctuations on financial markets? The book reviews the concept of temperature from its beginnings through the evolution of classical thermodynamics andatomic statistical physics through contemporary models of high energy particle matter. Based on the views of high en ergy nuclear physicists, it crosses over several traditional disciplines of university physics.Recent developmentstowards an abstract, general and thermodynamically consistent treatment of non-extensive systems are worked in. Exercise problems and solutio ns help to deepen the readers understanding into the details behind the theories.

Theso-called mean field app roximation approach is adopted to describe the macroscopic phenomena from certain microscopic principles for this unified mathematical formulation. Two key ingredients for this approach are the notions ofduality according to the PDE weak solutions and hie rarchy for revealing the details of the otherwise hidden secrets, such as physical mystery hidden between particle density and field concentration, quantized blow upbiological mechanism sealed in chemotaxis systems, as well as multi-scale mathematical exp lanations of the SmoluchowskiPoisson model in non-equilibrium thermodynamics, two-dimensional turbulence theory, self-dual gauge theory, andso forth.
