Part I: Particles and Fields. Part II: Foundations of Quantum Mechanics (Hardcover, 1997 ed.): Arthur S Wightman Part I: Particles and Fields. Part II: Foundations of Quantum Mechanics (Hardcover, 1997 ed.)
Arthur S Wightman; Notes by A. Shimony
R8,629 Discovery Miles 86 290 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

The first part of this third volume of Wigner's Collected Works is devoted to his analysis of symmetries in quantum mechanics, of the relativistic wave equations, of relativistic particle theory, and of field theory. It is introduced by the masterly annotation of Arthur S. Wightman. Abner Shimony annotates the second part where the reader will find Wigner's contributions to the foundations of quantum physics and to the problems of measurement.

The fourth volume of the Collected Works is devoted to Wigners contribution to physical chemistry, statistical mechanics and solid-state physics. One corner stone was his introduction of what is now called the Wigner function, while his paper on adiabatic perturbations foreshadowed later work on Berry phases. Although few in number, Wigners articles on solid-state physics laid the foundations for the modern theory of the electronic structure of metals.

Philosophical Reflections and Syntheses (Paperback, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 1995): Jagdish Mehra Philosophical Reflections and Syntheses (Paperback, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 1995)

Among the founding fathers of modern quantum physics few have contributed to our basic understanding of its concepts as much as E.P. Wigner. His articles on the epistemology of quantum mechanics and the measurement problem, and the basic role of symmetries were of fundamental importance for all subsequent work. He was also the first to discuss the concept of consciousness from the point of view of modern physics. G.G. Emch edited most of those papers and wrote a very helpful introduction into Wigner's contributions to Natural Philosophy. The book should be a gem for all those interested in the history and philosophy of science.

PCT, Spin and Statistics, and All That (Paperback, Revised): Raymond F. Streater, Arthur S Wightman PCT, Spin and Statistics, and All That (Paperback, Revised)
Raymond F. Streater, Arthur S Wightman
R1,355 Discovery Miles 13 550 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

"PCT, Spin and Statistics, and All That" is the classic summary of and introduction to the achievements of Axiomatic Quantum Field Theory. This theory gives precise mathematical responses to questions like: What is a quantized field? What are the physically indispensable attributes of a quantized field? Furthermore, Axiomatic Field Theory shows that a number of physically important predictions of quantum field theory are mathematical consequences of the axioms. Here Raymond Streater and Arthur Wightman treat only results that can be rigorously proved, and these are presented in an elegant style that makes them available to a broad range of physics and theoretical mathematics.
