Title: Operator Algebras And Quantum Statistical Mechanics 2 Equilibrium States Models In Quantum Statistical Mechanics
Description: For almost two decades this has been the classical textbook on applications of operator algebra theory to quantum statistical physics. It describes the general structure of equilibrium states, the KMS-condition and stability, quantum spin systems and continuous systems. Major changes in the new edition relate to Bose--Einstein condensation, the dynamics of the X-Y model and questions on phase transitions. Notes and remarks have been considerably augmented.
Subjects: Statistical mechanics, Quantum statistics, Operator algebras, Physics, Mathematical physics, Mathematical Methods in Physics, Numerical and Computational Physics
