Series on Concrete and Applicable Mathematics - Vol. 1

LONG TIME BEHAVIOUR OF CLASSICAL AND QUANTUM SYSTEMS
Proceedings of the Bologna APTEX International Conference
Bologna, Italy 13 - 17 September 1999

edited by Sandro Graffi & André Martinez (Università di Bologna, Italy)

This book is centered on the two minicourses conducted by C Liverani (Rome) and J Sjoestrand (Paris) on the return to equilibrium in classical statistical mechanics and the location of quantum resonances via semiclassical analysis, respectively. The other contributions cover related topics of classical and quantum mechanics, such as scattering theory, classical and quantum statistical mechanics, dynamical localization, quantum chaos, ergodic theory and KAM techniques.

  • Infinite Step Billiards (M D Esposti)
  • Semiclassical Expansion for the Thermodynamic Limit of the Ground State Energy of Kac's Operator (B Helffer & T Ramond)
  • Asymptotics of Scattering Poles for Two Strictly Convex Obstacles (M Ikawa)
