Chiral Anomalies and Topology
When a field theory has a symmetry, global or local like in gauge theories, in the tree or classical approximation formal manipulations lead to... -
Nonlinear superposition formulae of integrable partial differential equations by the singular manifold method
We study by the singular manifold method a few 1+1-dimensional partial differential equations which possess N-soliton solutions for arbitrary N, i.e.... -

4 Abelian Gauge Fixing
The formation of monopoles and their condensation in the QCD ground state is a feature which is related to abelian gauge fixing, discussed in this... -
Appendix D. Color Charges of Quarks and Gluons
In $SU\left( 2\right) $ , the charge operator is:... -
Introduction
The state of a physical system is the mathematical description of our knowledge of it, and provides information on its future and past. A state... -
2 Quantum Tomographic Methods
The state of a physical system is the mathematical object that provides a complete information on the system. The knowledge of the state is... -
6 Galilei Invariant Wave Equations
According to the results of the previous sections, a free elementary quantum object that is invariant under the Galilei group is described by an... -
13 Pressure
Technically one could introduce pressure within classical statistical mechanics as an observable, i.e., as a function of the micro state. The... -
5 The Program for the Foundation of Thermodynamics
For a foundation of thermodynamics it is tempting to give an abstract but, nevertheless, intuitively appealing definition of entropy, such as:... -
3 Basics of Thermodynamics and Statistics
After having introduced some central concepts, results, and equations from quantum mechanics, we will now present the main definitions and laws of... -
7 System and Environment
In a typical thermodynamic situation we consider a bipartite system with the larger part being called “environment” or “container”, c, whereas the... -
9 Quantum Operations on Qubitsand Their Characterization
Information encoded in quantum system has to obey rules of quantum physics which impose strict bounds on state estimation and on possible... -
1 A Synopsis of Quantum Mechanics
This chapter collects the basic elements of quantum mechanics in the form that is appropriate for an analysis of space-time symmetries. The reader... -
5 Galilei Invariant Elementary Particles
In this chapter we apply the general theory of symmetry actions as developed in Chaps. 2 and 3 to the Galilei groups of Chap. 4 splitting the... -
A Appendix
This dictionary gives the definitions and the basic properties of most of the mathematical concepts that are freely used in the book. No references... -
3 The Symmetry Actions and Their Representations
This chapter is devoted to the study of the homomorphisms $G \ni... -
21 Summary and Conclusion
This book essentially had two intentions: to define what precisely thermodynamic behavior should be and to show that a certain class of bipartite...
