Advanced Series in Mathematical Physics - Vol. 20

THE STATE OF MATTER
A Volume Dedicated to E H Lieb

edited by Michael Aizenman (Princeton University) & Huzihiro Araki (Kyoto University)

This book, a collection of works by leading figures in the field, provides a view of the current research in a broad area of mathematical physics.

The collection celebrates Elliot H Lieb's sixtieth birthday and his imprint on the subject. The preface by W Thirring offers a glimpse into the life and work-style of Lieb and some of his contemporaries.
