Explore Boltzmann’s probabilistic theory of heat, covering entropy, the Gibbs distribution, fluctuations, and dissipation. With applications from phase transitions to earthquakes, this book is for students and researchers seeking new ways of investigation in Thermodynamics.
This book investigates dynamical mass generation in four-fermion models, exploring the composite Higgs boson and effective chiral Lagrangians. It proves these models describe the region between asymptotic freedom and quark confinement.
This book describes a new interpretation of the Standard Model based on relations between particle masses and stable intervals in nuclear data. A combined analysis of these two data sets is performed for the first time, revealing many new relations based on the electron.
This book reviews statistic/thermodynamic models for both polarized and unpolarized structure functions, with additional applications such as the EMC effect. It will appeal to researchers and students of hadronic and nuclear/particle physics.
This monograph covers symmetries on a symplectic manifold, giving rise to quantum field theory via phase space and the Wigner function. This approach describes quantum chaos, introduces gauge symmetries, and leads to Symplectic Schrödinger, Klein-Gordon, and Dirac equations.
