Informationen zum Autor Elliott H. Lieb is a Professor of Mathematics and Higgins Professor of Physics at Princeton University. He has been a leader of research in mathematical physics for many decades, and his achievements have earned him numerous prizes and awards, including the Heineman Prize in Mathematical Physics of the American Physical Society, the Max-Planck medal of the German Physical Society, the Boltzmann medal of the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics, the Schock prize in mathematics by the Swedish Academy of Sciences, the Birkhoff prize in applied mathematics of the American Mathematical Society, the Austrian Medal of Honor for Science and Art, and the Poincaré prize of the International Association of Mathematical Physics. Robert Seiringer is an Assistant Professor of Physics at Princeton University. His research is centred largely on the quantum-mechanical many-body problem, and has been recognized by a Fellowship of the Sloan Foundation, by a U.S. National Science Foundation Early Career award, and by the 2009 Poincaré prize of the International Association of Mathematical Physics. Klappentext Description of research on the subject for researchers, and for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in mathematical physics. Zusammenfassung A unique! self-contained description of research on the stability of matter problem! this book is an up-to-date account for researchers. Its pedagogical style makes it suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in mathematical physics. It introduces the necessary quantum mechanics to mathematicians! and aspects of functional analysis to physicists. Inhaltsverzeichnis Preface; 1. Prologue; 2.
