Inhaltsangabe

This book presents an up-to-date formalism of non-equilibrium Green's functions covering different applications ranging from solid state physics, plasma physics, cold atoms in optical lattices up to relativistic transport and heavy ion collisions. Within the Green's function formalism, the basic sets of equations for these diverse systems are similar, and approximations developed in one field can be adapted to another field. The central object is the self-energy which includes all non-trivial aspects of the system dynamics. The focus is therefore on microscopic processes starting from elementary principles for classical gases and the complementary picture of a single quantum particle in a random potential. This provides an intuitive picture of the interaction of a particle with the medium formed by other particles, on which the Green's function is built on.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Klaus Morawetz graduated in 1992 with a PhD in theoretical physics. He held various postdoc positions at Arizona University, Tennessee TEC, Michigan University , LNS.INFN Catania, and at the Nils Bohr Institute in Copenhagen. He completed a one year research stay at France (LPC Caen), two years at the Max Planck Institute MPIPKS Dresden, one year HZDR Rossendorf, and four years as assistant at Chemnitz University of Technology. In 2008 he was guest professor at ICCMP in Brasilia. Since 2009 he has held a professorship for mathematics and theoretical many-body physics at University of Applied Sciences Münster, researching interacting many-body systems out of equilibrium.
