DESCRIPTION:
Kleinerts Completeness Frank Witte Kleinerts book "Path Integrals in Quantum Mechanics, Statistics, and Polymer Physics" presents the reader with a very complete and very thorough discussion of path integration. The book offers such a wealth of topics,it becomes straightforward to select material, both for advanced undergraduate as well as graduate courses in theoretical physics.Many, many issues dealt with in this volume have appeared here for the first time, s. One of The only TWO Books to own on PI's Kleinert the physicist is NOTHING short of phenomenal. This book is just one of his many treatises. After reading Feynman(+Hibbs) this is the text to follow up.Sadly the second edition which is in print contain MANY typos.The third edition fixes much if not all, so skip right onto the 3rd or higher edition.. "i liked it" according to chicken head cut off. So a little background on Kleinert: feynman could NOT solve the schrodinger equation with the path integral and kleinert, using some group theoretical methods did. or so that's what i was told.His book reflects that. This book is full of interesting facts that arent elsewhere.
He has made numerous contributions to our understanding of particle physics, mathematical physics, condensed matter physics, chemical physics, and nuclear physics. His two-volume book Gauge Fields in Condensed Matter, published by World Scientific, develops a new quantum field-theory of phase transitions on the basis of disorder fields. As a visiting scientist, he has spent extended periods of time at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research in Geneva; at the California Institu
This is the third, significantly expanded edition of the comprehensive textbook published in 1990 on the theory and applications of path integrals. The results are used to determine the lifetime of supercurrents, the stability of metastable thermodynamic phases, and the large-order behavior of perturbation expansions. Special attention is devoted to path integrals with topological restrictions. The powerful Feynman-Kleinert variational approach is explained and developed systematically into a variational perturbation theory which, in con
