Inhaltsangabe

In this final volume I have tried to present the subject of statistical mechanics in accordance with the basic principles of the series. The effort again entailed following Gustav Mahler's maxim, "Tradition = Schlamperei" (i.e., filth) and clearing away a large portion of this tradition-laden area. The result is a book with little in common with most other books on the subject. The ordinary perturbation-theoretic calculations are not very useful in this field. Those methods have never led to propositions of much substance. Even when perturbation series, which for the most part never converge, can be given some asymptotic meaning, it cannot be determined how close the nth order approximation comes to the exact result. Since analytic solutions of nontrivial problems are beyond human capabilities, for better or worse we must settle for sharp bounds on the quantities of interest, and can at most strive to make the degree of accuracy satisfactory.

Reseña del editor

The third volume of W. Thirring's famous textbook on mathematical physics is devoted to quantum mechanics and especially to its applications to atomic systems. The author builds the theory on an axiomatic basis and uses the functional analysis of unbounded operators to bridge the gap to physics and its experiments. Mathematics is shown to explain the axioms in depth and to provide the right tool for testing numerical data in experiments. The topics covered are Hilbert spaces, the theory of unbounded operators, scattering theory, atoms and molecules.
