Analytical mechanics / Antonio Fasano

Public ISBD Titre : Analytical mechanics : an introduction Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Antonio Fasano (1941-....), Auteur ; Stefano Marmi (1963-....), Auteur Editeur : Oxford : Oxford University Press Année de publication : 2006 Collection : Oxford graduate texts Importance : 1 vol. (XIII-772 p.) Présentation : ill. Format : 25 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-850802-1 Note générale : Bibliogr. p. 749-758 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : M?ecanique analytique Index. décimale : 05-02-40 FS Résumé : Analytical Mechanics is the investigation of motion with the rigorous tools of mathematics. Rooted in the works of Lagrange, Euler, Poincaré (to mention just a few), it is a very classical subject with fascinating developments and still rich of open problems. It addresses such fundamental questions as: Is the solar system stable? Is there a unifying 'economy' principle in mechanics? How can a point mass be described as a 'wave'? And has remarkable applications to many branches of physics (Astronomy, Statistical Mechanics, Quantum Mechanics). This book was written to fill a gap between elementary expositions and more advanced (and clearly more stimulating) material. It takes up the challenge to explain the most relevant ideas (generally highly non-trivial) and to show the most important applications using a plain language and 'simple' mathematics, often through an original approach. Basic calculus is enough for the reader to proceed through the book. New mathematical concepts are fully introduced and illustrated in a simple, student-friendly language. More advanced chapters can be omitted while still following the main ideas. Anybody wishing to go deeper in some direction will find at least the flavour of recent developments and many bibliographical references. The theory is always accompanied by examples. Many problems are suggested and some are completely worked out at the end of each chapter. The book may effectively be used (and has been used at several Italian Universities) for undergraduate as well as for PhD courses in Physics and Mathematics at various levels.

Concepts in thermal physics / Stephen Blundell

Public ISBD Titre : Concepts in thermal physics Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Stephen Blundell, Auteur ; Katherine M. Blundell, Auteur Mention d'édition : 2nd ed. Editeur : Oxford : Oxford University Press Année de publication : 2010 Importance : 1 vol. (XVIII-493 p.) Présentation : ill. Format : 26 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-956209-1 Note générale : Bibliogr. p. 485-487 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : 05-05-Thermodynamique. Mots-clés : Thermodynamique  M?ecanique statistique Index. décimale : 05-05-31 FS Résumé : An understanding of thermal physics is crucial to much of modern physics, chemistry and engineering. This book provides a modern introduction to the main principles that are foundational to thermal physics, thermodynamics, and statistical mechanics. The key concepts are carefully presented in a clear way, and new ideas are illustrated with copious worked examples as well as a description of the historical background to their discovery. Applications are presented to subjects as diverse as stellar astrophysics, information and communication theory, condensed matter physics, and climate change. Each chapter concludes with detailed exercises. Readership: Advanced undergraduates and graduates in physics, chemistry, materials science and engineering. Researchers in physical science subjects wanting an accessible and relevant resource for thermal physics.

Modern supersymmetry / 0

Public ISBD Titre : Modern supersymmetry : dynamics and duality Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : 0, Auteur Editeur : Oxford : Oxford University Press Année de publication : 2009 Collection : num. 132 Importance : 1 vol. (xiii-324 p.) Présentation : ill Format : 24 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-955951-0 Note générale : 1?ere pubication : 2006 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Physique générale . FS 05-01  Supersym?etrie  Supersymmetry Index. décimale : 05-01 Résumé : The book begins with a brief review of supersymmetry and the construction of the minimal supersymmetric standard model and approaches to supersymmetry breaking. General non-perturbative methods are also reviewing leading to the development of holomorphy and the Affleck-Dine-Seiberg superpotential as powerful tools for analyzing supersymmetric theories. Seiberg duality is discussed in detail, with many example applications provided, with special attention paid to its use in understanding dynamical supersymmetry breaking. The Seiberg-Witten theory of monopoles is introduced through the analysis of simpler N=1 analogues. Superconformal field theories are described along with the most recent development known as "a-maximization". Supergravity theories are examined in 4, 10, and 11 dimensions, allowing for a discussion of anomaly and gaugino mediation, and setting the stage for the anti-de-Sitter/conformal field theory correspondence. This book is unique in containing an overview of the important developments in supersymmetry since the publication of "Supersymmetry and Supergravity" by Wess and Bagger. It also strives to cover topics that are of interest to both formal and phenomenological theorists.
