GU Chaohao The soliton theory is an important branch of nonlinear science. On one hand, it describes various kinds of stable motions appearing in - ture, such as solitary water wave, solitary signals in optical ?  Meer

The problem of deriving irreversible thermodynamics from the re­ versible microscopic dynamics has been on the agenda of theoreti­ cal physics for a century and has produced more papers than can be digested by any single scientist.  Meer

Symmetry and Dynamics have played, sometimes dualistic, sometimes complimentary, but always a very essential role in the physicist's description and conception of Nature.  Meer

The emergence of topological quantum ?eld theory has been one of the most important breakthroughs which have occurred in the context of ma- ematical physics in the last century, a century characterizedbyindependent developments of the main ideas in both disciplines, physics and mathematics, which has concluded with two decades of strong interaction between them, where physics, as in previous centuries, has acted as a source of new mat- matics.  Meer

JeanVaillant L’oeuvre de Jean Leray est originale et profonde; ses théorèmes et ses théories sont au coeur des recherches mathématiques actuelles: la beauté de chacun de ses travaux ne se divise pas.  Meer

Illustrates developments in the many areas of contemporary physics which have benefitted from the work and influence of Yvonne Choquet-Bruhat. The work considers the role of geometry of manifolds in space-time physics and that of functional analysis in quantum mechanics and quantum field theory.  Meer

These two volumes constitute the Proceedings of the `Conférence Moshé Flato, 1999'. Their spectrum is wide but the various areas covered are, in fact, strongly interwoven by a common denominator, the unique personality and creativity of the scientist in whose honor the Conference was held, and the far-reaching vision that underlies his scientific activity.  Meer

Noncommutative differential geometry is a new approach to classical geometry. It was originally used by Fields Medalist A. Connes in the theory of foliations, where it led to striking extensions of Atiyah-Singer index theory.  Meer

This monograph is devoted to quantum statistical mechanics. It can be regarded as a continuation of the book "Mathematical Foundations of Classical Statistical Mechanics.  Meer

This volume contains the proceedings of the First Ukrainian-French­ Romanian School "Algebraic and Geometric Methods in Mathematical Physics", held in Kaciveli, Crimea (Ukraine) from 1 September ti1114 September 1993.  Meer

This book contains the proceedings of a meeting that brought together friends and colleagues of Guy Rideau at the Université Denis Diderot (Paris, France) in January 1995.  Meer

For seventy years, we have known that Einstein's theory is essentially a theory of propagation of waves for the gravitational field. Confusion enters, however, through the fact that the word wave, in physics, implies sometimes repetition and sometimes not.  Meer

This volume contains papers presented at the meeting Deformation Theory, Symplectic Geometry and Applications, held in Ascona, June 17-21, 1996. The contents touch upon many frontier domains of modern mathematics, mathematical physics and theoretical physics and include authoritative, state-of-the-art contributions by leading scientists.  Meer

The papers in this volume are devoted to quantum group theory, non-commutative differential geometry and integrable systems. Emphasis is given to the formalism of noncommutative geometry on the quantum geometry of quantum groups and the quantum deformation of Poincare algebra.  Meer

In the past decade, there has been a sudden and vigorous development in a number of research areas in mathematics and mathematical physics, such as theory of operator algebras, knot theory, theory of manifolds, infinite dimensional Lie algebras and quantum groups (as a new topics), etc.  Meer

This book focuses on unstable systems both from the classical and the quantum mechanical points of view and studies the relations between them. The first part deals with quantum systems.  Meer

This book, now in its second edition, introduces the singularity analysis of differential and difference equations via the Painlevé test and shows how Painlevé analysis provides a powerful algorithmic approach to building explicit solutions to nonlinear ordinary and partial differential equations.  Meer
