This book deals with an important class of many-body systems: those
where the interaction potential decays slowly for large
inter-particle distances; in particular, systems where the decay is
slower than the inverse inter-particle distance raised to the
dimension of the embedding space. Gravitational and Coulomb
interactions are the most prominent examples, however it has become
clear that long-range interactions are more common than previously
thought. A satisfactory understanding of properties, generally
considered as oddities only a couple of decades ago, has now been
reached: ensemble inequivalence, negative specific heat, negative
susceptibility, ergodicity breaking, out-of-equilibrium
quasi-stationary-states, anomalous diffusion. The book, intended
for Master and PhD students, tries to gradually acquaint the reader
with the subject. The first two parts describe the theoretical and
computational instruments needed to address the study of both
equilibrium and dynamical properties of systems subject to
long-range forces. The third part of the book is devoted to
applications of such techniques to the most relevant examples of
long-range systems.
