Statistical Physics II introduces nonequilibrium theories of
statistical mechanics from the viewpoint of the
fluctuation-disipation theorem. Emphasis is placed on the
relaxation from nonequilibrium to equilibrium states, the response
of a system to an external disturbance, and general problems
involved in deriving a macroscopic physical process from more basic
underlying processes. Fundamental concepts and methods are
stressed, rather than the numerous individual applications.
Soliton theory, the theory of nonlinear waves in lattices composed
of particles interacting by nonlinear forces, is treated rigorously
in this book. The presentation is coherent and self-contained,
starting with pioneering work and extending to the most recent
advances in the field. Special attention is focused on exact
methods of solution of nonlinear problems and on the exact
mathematical treatment of nonlinear lattice vibrations. This new
edition updates the material to take account of important new
advances.
Statistical Physics I discusses the fundamentals of equilibrium
statistical mechanics, focussing on basic physical aspects. No
previous knowledge of thermodynamics or the molecular theory of
gases is assumed. Illustrative examples based on simple materials
and photon systems elucidate the central ideas and methods.
