This research monograph presents a new dynamical framework for the
study of secular morphological evolution of galaxies along the
Hubble sequence. Classical approaches based on Boltzmann's kinetic
equation, as well as on its moment-equation descendants the Euler
and Navier-Stokes fluid equations, are inadequate for treating the
maintenance and long-term evolution of systems containing
self-organized structures such as galactic density-wave modes. A
global and synthetic approach, incorporating correlated
fluctuations of the constituent particles during a nonequilibrium
phase transition, is adopted to supplement the continuum treatment.
The cutting-edge research combining analytical, N-body
simulational, and observational aspects, as well as the
fundamental-physics connections it provides, make this work a
valuable reference for researchers and graduate students in
astronomy, astrophysics, cosmology, many-body physics, complexity
theory, and other related fields. Contents Dynamical Drivers of
Galaxy Evolution N-Body Simulations of Galaxy Evolution
Astrophysical Implications of the Dynamical Theory Putting It All
Together Concluding Remarks Appendix: Relation to Kinetics and
Fluid Mechanics
