  • Tensor Categories and Endomorphisms of von Neumann Algebras

    with Applications to Quantum Field Theory

    by Marcel Bischoff, Yasuyuki Kawahigashi, Roberto Longo, Karl-Henning Rehren ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    C* tensor categories are a point of contact where Operator Algebras and Quantum Field Theory meet. They are the underlying unifying concept for homomorphisms of (properly infinite) von Neumann algebras and representations of quantum observables.The present introductory text reviews the basic notions and their cross-relations in different contexts. The focus is on Q-systems that serve as complete ... Read more

  • Fundamental Aspects of Plasma Chemical Physics

    Kinetics

    by Mario Capitelli, Roberto Celiberto, Gianpiero Colonna, Fabrizio Esposito, Claudine Gorse, Khaled Hassouni, Annarita Laricchiuta, Savino Longo ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Describing non-equilibrium "cold" plasmas through a chemical physics approach, this book uses the state-to-state plasma kinetics, which considers each internal state as a new species with its own cross sections. Extended atomic and molecular master equations are coupled with Boltzmann and Monte Carlo methods to solve the electron energy distribution function. Selected examples in different applied ...

  • A First Course in Topos Quantum Theory

    by Cecilia Flori ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    In the last five decades various attempts to formulate theories of quantum gravity have been made, but none has fully succeeded in becoming the quantum theory of gravity. One possible explanation for this failure might be the unresolved fundamental issues in quantum theory as it stands now. Indeed, most approaches to quantum gravity adopt standard quantum theory as their starting point, with the ... Read more
