Authored by a well-known expert in the field of nonequilibrium
statistical physics, this book is a coherent presentation of the
subject suitable for masters and PhD students, as well as postdocs
in physics and related disciplines.
Starting from a general discussion of irreversibility and entropy,
the method of nonequilibrium statistical operator is presented as a
general concept. Stochastic processes are introduced as a necessary
prerequisite to describe the evolution of a nonequilibrium state.
Different standard approaches such as master equations, kinetic
equations and linear response theory, are derived after special
assumptions. This allows for an insight into the problems of
nonequilibrium physics, a discussion of the limits of the
approaches, and suggestions for improvements. The method of
thermodynamic Green's function is outlined that allows for the
systematic quantum statistical treatment of many-body systems.
Applications and typical examples are given, as well as fully
worked problems.
