Título : Geometry and Topology in Hamiltonian Dynamics and Statistical Mechanics Tipo de documento: documento electrónico Autores: Marco Pettini ; SpringerLink (Online service) Editorial: New York, NY : Springer New York Fecha de publicación: 2007 Colección: Interdisciplinary Applied Mathematics, ISSN 0939-6047 num. 33 Número de páginas: XVI, 456 p. 91 illus Il.: online resource ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-0-387-49957-4 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: Mathematics Dynamics Ergodic theory Applied mathematics Engineering Physics Quantum physics Statistical Dynamical systems Systems and Theory Mathematical Methods in Applications of Physics, Complexity Clasificación: 51 Matemáticas Resumen: This book explores the foundations of hamiltonian dynamical systems and statistical mechanics, in particular phase transition, from the point of view of geometry and topology. A broad participation of topology in these fields has been lacking and this book will provide a welcome overview of the current research in the area, in which the author himself is a pioneer. Using geometrical thinking to solve fundamental problems in these areas, compared to the purely analytical methods usually used in physics could be highly productive. The author skillfully guides the reader, whether mathematician or physicists through the background needed to understand and use these techniques. Dr. Marco Pettini is affiliated with the Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica â€" Osservatorio Astrofisico di Arretri in Firenze, Italy. From the foreword: "It is in particular the quality of mind of the author and his deep physical, as well as mathematical insights, which make this book so special and inspiring. It is a "must" for those who want to venture into a new approach to old problems or want to use new tools for new problems." -- Professor E. G. D. Cohen, Rockefellar University, New York Nota de contenido: Background in Physics -- Geometrization of Hamiltonian Dynamics -- Integrability -- Geometry and Chaos -- Geometry of Chaos and Phase Transitions -- Topological Hypothesis on the Origin -- Geometry, Topology and Thermodynamics -- Phase Transitions and Topology: Necessity Theorems -- Phase Transitions and Topology: Exact Results -- Future Developments En línea: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-0-387-49957-4 Link: https://biblioteca.cunef.edu/gestion/catalogo/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=34502 Geometry and Topology in Hamiltonian Dynamics and Statistical Mechanics [documento electrónico] / Marco Pettini ; SpringerLink (Online service) . - New York, NY : Springer New York, 2007 . - XVI, 456 p. 91 illus : online resource. - (Interdisciplinary Applied Mathematics, ISSN 0939-6047; 33) .

Título : Biological Physics : Poincaré Seminar 2009 Tipo de documento: documento electrónico Autores: SpringerLink (Online service) ; Vincent Rivasseau Editorial: Basel : Springer Basel Fecha de publicación: 2011 Colección: Progress in Mathematical Physics, ISSN 1544-9998 num. 60 Número de páginas: X, 170 p Il.: online resource ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-3-0346-0428-4 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: Mathematics Biomathematics Biophysics Biological physics Mathematical and Computational Biology Physics Clasificación: 51 Matemáticas Resumen: This new volume in the Poincaré Seminar Series, describing recent developments at the interface between physics and biology, is directed towards a broad audience of physicists, biologists, and mathematicians. Both the theoretical and experimental aspects are covered, and particular care is devoted to the pedagogical nature of the presentations. The first survey article, by Jean-Francois Joanny and Jacques Prost, describes the theoretical advances made in the study of "active gels", with applications to liquid crystals and cell motility. Jasper van der Gucht and Cécile Sykes then report on recent advances made with biomimetic model systems in the understanding of cytokinesis. The next article, by Jonathon Howard, presents several molecular models for motor proteins, which are compared with experimental results for kinesin. David Lacoste and Kirone Mallick then show theoretically that similar ratchet models of motor proteins naturally satisfy a fundamental time-reversal symmetry, the Gallavotti-Cohen fluctuation relation. Jean-Francois Allemand, David Bensimon and Vincent Croquette and their coauthors describe the latest advances made in the real-time single molecule study of the enzymes involved in DNA replication. Raymond E. Goldstein addresses the problem of understanding, from a physics perspective, the driving forces behind the biological evolution of multicellularity, using Volvocine algae as model organisms. Stanislas Dehaene finally addresses the major challenge of understanding the neuronal mechanism of consciousness, and speculates on the possible theoretical explanations of MRI experiments.

The core of the first part is Hilbert’s two semester lecture course on ‘The Foundations of Physics’ (1916/17). This is framed by Hilbert’s published ‘First and Second Communications’ on the ‘Foundations of Physics’ (1915, 1917) and by a selection of documents dealing with more specific topics like ‘The Principle of Causality’ or a lecture on the new concepts of space and time held in Bucharest in 1918. The epistemological issues concern the intricate relation between nature and mathematical knowledge, in particular the question of irreversibility and objectivity (1921) as well as the subtle question whether what Hilbert calls the ‘world equations’ are physically complete (1923). The last part deals with quantum theory in its early, advanced and mature stages. Hilbert held lecture courses on the mathematical foundations of quantum theory twice, before and after the breakthrough in 1926. These documents bear witness to one of the most dramatic changes in the foundations of science Nota de contenido: Mitteilungen -- The Foundations of Physics: The Lectures (1916#x2013;1917) -- The Foundations of Physics: Specific Topics (1915?#x2013;1918) -- Epistemological Questions of Physics (1921 and 1923) -- Lectures on Radiation and Quantum Theory (1912) -- Lectures on Quantum Theory (1922#x2013;23 and 1926#x2013;27) En línea: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/b12915 Link: https://biblioteca.cunef.edu/gestion/catalogo/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=34008 David Hilbert's Lectures on the Foundations of Physics 1915-1927 : Relativity, Quantum Theory and Epistemology [documento electrónico] / SpringerLink (Online service) ; Sauer, Tilman ; Ulrich Majer . - Berlin, Heidelberg : Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2009 . - XII, 690 p : online resource.

Título : Einstein and the Changing Worldviews of Physics Tipo de documento: documento electrónico Autores: SpringerLink (Online service) ; Christoph Lehner ; Jürgen Renn ; Schemmel, Matthias Editorial: Boston : Birkhäuser Boston Fecha de publicación: 2012 Colección: Einstein Studies num. 12 Número de páginas: XII, 363 p. 21 illus., 5 illus. in color Il.: online resource ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-0-8176-4940-1 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: Mathematics History Mathematical physics Gravitation Astronomy Astrophysics Cosmology Physics of Sciences Classical and Quantum Gravitation, Relativity Theory Astronomy, Philosophical Foundations Clasificación: 51 Matemáticas Resumen: This volume reviews conceptual conflicts at the foundations of physics now and in the past century. The focus is on the conditions and consequences of Einstein’s pathbreaking achievements that sealed the decline of the classical notions of space, time, radiation, and matter, and resulted in the theory of relativity. Particular attention is paid to the implications of conceptual conflicts for scientific views of the world at large, thus providing the basis for a comparison of the demise of the mechanical worldview at the turn of the 20th century with the challenges presented by cosmology at the turn of the 21st century. Throughout the work, Einstein’s contributions are not seen in isolation but instead set into the wider intellectual context of dealing with the problem of gravitation in the twilight of classical physics; the investigation of the historical development is carried out with a number of epistemological questions in mind, concerning, in particular, the transformation process of knowledge associated with the changing worldviews of physics. Einstein and the Changing Worldviews of Physics is divided into four main parts: * Part I: At the Limits of the Classical Worldview; * Part II: Contexts of the Relativity Revolution; * Part III: The Emergence of the Relativistic Worldview; * Part IV: A New Worldview in the Making. The contributions explore various aspects of the emerging relativistic views in modern physics by giving an historical, philosophical, and mathematical account of Einstein’s work, as well as the work of other distinguished physicists in the field. Taken as a whole, the book is focused on the interplay between mathematical concepts and physical ideas throughout history by studying today’s scientific world and how it continues to redefine physics in the 21st century.
