A comprehensive introduction to quantum field theory by Nobel Laureate Steven Weinberg, first published in 1996.
In addition to this, the author describes the effect of a superstrong magnetic field on the beta-decay type neutrino emissivity of neutron stars and on the chemical equilibrium of neutron, proton and electron gases in the neutron star core. The book also contains a full discussion of the behaviour of the anomalous magnetic moment in external magnetic fields for the electroweak theory. This important book will prove invaluable to anyone pursuing research in theoretical and high-energy physics, and could also be of interest to astrophysicists.
The topics discussed in this volume are: Symmetry and Foundations in Classical and Quantum Mechanics; Geometry, Topology and Quantum Field Theory; Quantum Groups and Infinite-Dimensional Lie Algebras; Algebraic Approach to Nuclear Structure; Integrable Statistical Systems and Theory of Critical Phenomena Supersymmetry; Atomic and Molecular Physics; Condensed Matter Physics; Other Applications of Group Theory to Physics.
How does the spatial mind develop? In this book, Jodie Plumert and John Spencer bring together the leading researchers from the field of spatial cognitive development to examine how the spatial mind emerges from its humble origins in infancy and becomes its mature, flexible, and skilled adult form. The work presented sheds light on how the emerging spatial mind is fostered and shaped over time by our experiences of thinking about and interacting in the space around us. Each chapter presents cutting-edge research and theory that addresses the two pivotal questions of what changes in the spatial mind, and how these changes come about. The authors provide both conceptual and formal theoretical accounts of developmental process at multiple levels of analysis--genes, neurons, behaviors, social interactions--creating a contemporary overview of the general mechanisms of cognitive change. Commentary chapters show how the developmental advances discussed in these accounts fit into our understanding of not only spatial cognitive development, but also spatial cognition more generally.
The fundamental goal of physics is an understanding of the forces of nature in their simplest and most general terms. Yet there is much more involved than just a basic set of equations which eventually has to be solved when applied to specific problems. We have learned in recent years that the structure of the ground state of field theories (with which we are generally concerned) plays an equally funda mental role as the equations of motion themselves. Heisenberg was probably the first to recognize that the ground state, the vacuum, could acquire certain prop erties (quantum numbers) when he devised a theory of ferromagnetism. Since then, many more such examples are known in solid state phys...
Visual QuickStart Guide—the quick and easy way to learn!

Relativity plays an important role in atomic nuclei, and, since the early 1970s, there has been increasing interest in, and literature on, the nucleus as a relativistic system. In fact, the relativistic treatment provides a powerful method to describe nuclear structure and reactions. It is thus an ideal time to collect and review the important landmarks in this book. Directed to advanced students and researchers, it explains both the underlying relativistic theory and compares predictions with actual experiments.
