Book Description
This book differs from its predecessor, Lieb & Mattis Mathematical Physics in One Dimension, in a number of important ways. Classic discoveries which once had to be omitted owing to lack of space ― such as the seminal paper by Fermi, Pasta and Ulam on lack of ergodicity of the linear chain, or Bethe’s original paper on the Bethe ansatz ― can now be incorporated. Many applications which did not even exist in 1966 (some of which were originally spawned by the publication of Lieb & Mattis) are newly included. Among these, this new book contains critical surveys of a number of important developments: the exact solution of the Hubbard model, the concept of spinons, the Haldane gap in magnetic spin-one chains, bosonization and fermionization, solitions and the approach to thermodynamic equilibrium, quantum statistical mechanics, localization of normal modes and eigenstates in disordered chains, and a number of other contemporary concerns.
Editorial Reviews
Review
“This volume is a thoroughly extended and updated version of the classic Mathematical physics in one dimension, by Lieb and Mattis … In short, this encyclopedic compendium will be of value to many researchers working in ‘exact results’.” Mathematical Reviews
