Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Itisaspecialpleasureformetowritethisforewordforaremarkablebookbya remarkableauthor.MarcoPettiniisadeepthinker,whohasspentmanyyears probing the foundations of Hamiltonian chaos and statistical mechanics, in particular phase transitions, from the poi…nt of view of geometry and topology. Itisinparticularthequalityofmindoftheauthorandhisdeepphysical,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. Although topology has penetrated a number of elds of physics, a broad participationoftopologyintheclari cationandprogressoffundamentalpr- lems in the above-mentioned elds has been lacking. The new perspectives topology gives to the above-mentioned problems are bound to help in their clari cation and to spread to other elds of science. The sparsity of geometric thinking and of its use to solve fundamental problems, when compared with purely analytical methods in physics, could be relieved and made highly productive using the material discussed in this book. It is unavoidable that the physicist reader may have then to learn some new mathematics and be challenged to a new way of thinking, but with the author as a guide, he is assured of the best help in achieving this that is presently available.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book covers a new explanation of the origin of Hamiltonian chaos and its quantitative characterization. The author focuses on two main areas: Riemannian formulation of Hamiltonian dynamics, providing an original viewpoint about… the relationship between geodesic instability and curvature properties of the mechanical manifolds; and a topological theory of thermodynamic phase transitions, relating topology changes of microscopic configuration space with the generation of singularities of thermodynamic observables. The book contains numerous illustrations throughout and it will interest both mathematicians and physicists. 472 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -This book covers a new explanation of the origin of Hamiltonian chaos and its quantitative characterization. The subject of the book is very original and nothing similar has been written hitherto. There are numerous illustrations throug…hout and the book will be of interest to both mathematicians and physicists. The author focuses on two main areas: Riemannian formulation of Hamiltonian dynamics, providing an original viewpoint about the relationship between geodesic instability and curvature properties of the mechanical manifolds; and a topological theory of thermodynamic phase transitions, relating topology changes of microscopic configuration space with the generation of singularities of thermodynamic observables. The two areas are strongly related because the geometrization of microscopic dynamics, which is the ultimate physical source of phase transitions, naturally leads to investigate how geometry and topology of the mechanical manifolds have to change to induce a phase transition.Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 472 pp. Englisch.
