Many-Body Problems and Quantum Field Theory
Emphasis is placed on analogies between the various systems rather than on advanced or specialized aspects, with the purpose of illustrating common ideas within different domains of physics. Starting from a basic knowledge of quantum mechanics and classical electromagnetism, the exposition is self-contained and explicitly details all steps of the derivations. The new edition features a substantially new treatment of nucleon pairing.
Symmetry in Plants
The book deals with biological, mathematical, descriptive, causal and systemic phyllotaxis. It aims at reflecting the widest possible range of ideas and research closely related to phyllotaxis and contains 30 well illustrated chapters.The book has three parts of equal importance. The first two parts concern data collecting, pattern recognition and pattern generation to which students of phyllotaxis are well accustomed. The third part is devoted to the problem of origins of phyllotactic patterns, giving the field of phyllotaxis the universality it requires to be fully understood.Phyllotaxis-like patterns are found in places where genes are not necessarily present. Part III concerns general co...

Fractals in Biology and Medicine
"Fractals in Biology and Medicine" explores the potential of fractal geometry for describing and understanding biological organisms, their development and growth as well as their structural design and functional properties. It extends these notions to assess changes associated with disease in the hope to contribute to the understanding of pathogenetic processes in medicine. The book is the first comprehensive presentation of the importance of the new concept of fractal geometry for biological and medical sciences. It collates in a logical sequence extended papers based on invited lectures and free communications presented at a symposium in Ascona, Switzerland, attended by leading scientists ...
The Earth
Our planet's elliptical orbit around the Sun and its billions-of-years existence are facts we take for granted, matters every literate high school student is expected to grasp. But humanity's struggle towards these scientific truths lasted millennia. Few of us have more than the faintest notion of the path we have travelled. Hubert Krivine tells the story of the thinkers and scientists whose work allowed our species to put an age to the planet and pinpoint our place in the solar system. It is a history of bold innovators, with a broad cast of contributors - not only Copernicus, Galileo and Kepler, but Halley, Kelvin, Darwin and Rutherford, among many others. Courage, iniquity, religious dogm...
Fractals, Quasicrystals, Chaos, Knots and Algebraic Quantum Mechanics
At the end of the workshop on "New Theoretical Concepts in Physical Chemistry", one of the participants made an attempt to present a first impression of its achievements from his own personal standpoint. Appar ently his views reflected a general feeling, so that the organizers thought they would be suitable as a presentation of the proceedings for future readers. That is the background from which this foreword was born. The scope of the workshop is a very broad one. There are contribu tions from mathematics, physics, crystallography, chemistry and biology; the problems are approached either by means of axiomatic and rigorous methods, or at an empirical phenomenological level. This same diver...
Mathematical Problems in Quantum Physics
This volume contains the proceedings of the QMATH13: Mathematical Results in Quantum Physics conference, held from October 8–11, 2016, at the Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, Georgia. In recent years, a number of new frontiers have opened in mathematical physics, such as many-body localization and Schrödinger operators on graphs. There has been progress in developing mathematical techniques as well, notably in renormalization group methods and the use of Lieb–Robinson bounds in various quantum models. The aim of this volume is to provide an overview of some of these developments. Topics include random Schrödinger operators, many-body fermionic systems, atomic systems, effective equations, and applications to quantum field theory. A number of articles are devoted to the very active area of Schrödinger operators on graphs and general spectral theory of Schrödinger operators. Some of the articles are expository and can be read by an advanced graduate student.
Au-delà des gènes
D’où venons-nous ? Notre destinée est-elle dictée par les gènes dont nous héritons ? Voyons-nous tous le ciel du même ton de bleu ? Gottfried Schatz, biochimiste mondialement reconnu, donne dans cet ouvrage des réponses surprenantes aux questions que nous nous sommes tous posées un jour. Le voyage auquel il convie le lecteur nous emmène au coeur du mystère de la vie. Un continent invisible, merveilleux et étourdissant de beauté, révélé par les subtiles réflexions de leur auteur entre science, philosophie et histoire de l’art et des cultures. Une immersion humaniste, au terme de laquelle on ressort avec une autre idée de la biologie : à la discipline aride réservée aux spécialistes se substitue l’image d’un trousseau de clés, ouvrant d’innombrables portes vers une meilleure compréhension du vivant. Un ouvrage déjà traduit dans de nombreuses langues, et destiné à ceux désireux de mieux comprendre le monde qui nous entoure.
L'art de la sécurité
Depuis toujours, les communautés humaines ont confié à certains des leurs la mission d'assurer leur protection contre le crime et l'insécurité. Au fil du temps, et durant des siècles, la police s'est ainsi progressivement professionnalisée, en expérimentant les moyens de toujours mieux sécuriser les villes et les campagnes. Il faudra toutefois attendre les dernières décennies pour que les historiens et les criminologues ne s'intéressent à cette séculaire accumulation de savoirs et de savoir-faire, et évaluant les stratégies et tactiques mises au point. C'est sur la base de ces études que l'auteur, chercheur au Centre international de criminologie comparée de l'Université d...
Formation: l'autre miracle suisse
Si la Suisse a acquis une réputation mondiale en matière de savoir-faire horloger, pharmaceutique ou financier, il est un autre domaine dans lequel elle excelle : son système de formation, qui depuis l’apprentissage jusqu’à ses hautes écoles (HES, universités et écoles polytechniques) la place régulièrement en tête des enquêtes PISA parmi les pays européens, ainsi que des pays dont les institutions universitaires sont les plus attractives au monde. Comment cette machinerie complexe fonctionne-t-elle, comment s’organise-t-elle, qui sont les professeurs qui l’animent, que gagnent-ils, et comment sont-ils recrutés puis évalués? C’est à toutes ces questions et bien d’...
