The Theory and Applications of Instanton Calculations
This 2017 volume, now reissued as OA, provides an accessible, detailed introduction to instanton methods and their many applications.
Topology of Strongly Correlated Systems
The XVIII Lisbon Autumn School brought together physicists from different areas, ranging from QCD to condensed matter. This subject will be of ever-growing importance in the coming years. The topics covered are: Anomalies, Physical Charges, Chiral Symmetry, Vortices (Superconductivity, Solitons, Kosterlitz-Thouless Transitions), Non-trivial Topology on the Lattice, Confinement (Wilson Loops and Strings, Instantons, Abelian Higgs Model, Dual QCD).
Solitons
Solitons were discovered by John Scott Russel in 1834 and have intrigued scientists and mathematicians ever since. They have been the subject of a large body of research not only in mathematics and physics, but also engineering, biology, and other disciplines. This volume comprises the presentations at an interdisciplinary workshop held at Querns University in Kingston, Ontario. It includes chapters on mathematical and numerical aspects of solitons, recent developments in string theory, and applications of solitons in such areas as nuclear and particle physics, cosmology, and condensed-matter physics.
Quantum Groups, Integrable Models And Statistiacal Systems
This volume contains the lectures presented at the workshop on “Quantum Groups, Integrable Models and Statistical Systems”. The papers give either a full exposition of original results or a review of fundamental aspects of this most active research area.
Symmetry in Physics
Papers in this volume are based on the Workshop on Symmetries in Physics held at the Centre de recherches mathematiques (University of Montreal) in memory of Robert T. Sharp. Contributed articles are on a variety of topics revolving around the theme of symmetry in physics. The preface presents a biographical and scientific retrospect of the life and work of Robert Sharp. Other articles in the volume represent his diverse range of interests, including representation theoretic methods for Lie algebras, quantization techniques and foundational considerations, modular group invariants and applications to conformal models, various physical models and equations, geometric calculations with symmetries, and pedagogical methods for developing spatio-temporal intuition. The book is suitable for graduate students and researchers interested in group theoretic methods, symmetries, and mathematical physics.
Quantum Coherence - Proceedings Of The International Conference On Fundamental Aspects Of Quantum Theory — To Celebrate 30 Years Of The Aharonov-bohm-effect
The foundations of quantum mechanics has acquired tremendous importance in recent years for three reasons: First, a large number of experiments have tested concepts which previously were purely theoretical. Second, ideas from the foundations of quantum mechanics are being applied now to many fields such as condensed matter physics, quantum statistics, quantum cosmology and quantum gravity. Third, difficulties in constructing a quantum cosmology and theory of gravity have made many theorists examine the foundations of quantum theory to see if quantum mechanics itself needs to be modified. Very distinguished physicists from around the world gave talks on their recent research on a variety of theoretical and experimental aspects on these subjects at this conference.
First Workshop on Grand Unification
This workshop held at the New England Center provided a timely opportunity for over 100 participants to gather in a unique environment and discuss the present status of the unification of strong and electroweak forces. One reason for the timeliness was perhaps that experiments of the seventies had already lent confirmation to the separate theories of strong and of electroweak forces, so that for the eighties it now seems especially compelling to attempt the grand unification of these two forces. Also, the planned experiments to search for proton decay and the new experiments which are suggestive, though not yet conclusive, of non-zero neutrino rest masses add further stimulus to the theory. ...

Fourth Workshop on Grand Unification
It has been sixteen years since the unification of electro Magnetism with the weak interactions was developed by Glashow, Salam, and Weinberg. Well before that proposal was fully confirmed by experiment, work began on unifying strong interactions with the electroweak. Now there is a growing effort to incorporate some theory of quantum gravity into the scheme. This enormous complex of theoreti cal and experimental efforts was the subject of the Fourth Workshop on Grand Unification held in Philadelphia and attended by over two hundred physicists. During the workshop, experimental and theoretical talks alternated as shown by the program summary on page 409. However, to display the logical scope...
