Tions in Statistical Physics, 2nd ed. Thermodynamic and Statistical Physics First- and second-order phase transitions. Axiomatic theory of thermodynamics. This classic text, first published in 1972, is designed for graduate physics courses in statistical mechanics. Swiss-born American, contributed to condensed matter theory, especially involving statistical mechanics: phase transitions; derivation of hydrodynamical equations from microscopic kinetics; statistical mechanics of plasmas. Various statistical quantities like order parameters, their cumulants, and response functions, are used to Phase transitions in systems with reduced dimensionality have been of .. Relativistic quantum mechanics: Klein-Gordon and Dirac equations. A great part of this talk is of Disordered Systems. We also discuss more recent developments on non-equilibrium statistical mechanics where results at present are sparse and incomplete. The crucial claim is that phase transitions are qualitative changes that cannot be reduced to fit the more fundamental explanatory principles of statistical mechanics. Interferences and transitions between spatial charts in a neuronal model of hippocampus. We will discuss the different possible phases of the system and the essential features of its dynamics (activated diffusion in one chart and transitions between charts). Semi-classical theory of radiation. His area of specialization is Statistical Physics – Dynamics of Non-equilibrium Systems, Phase Transitions and Disordered Systems.
