SERIES ON ADVANCES IN STATISTICAL MECHANICS

Aims and Scope

Statistical mechanics nowadays has come far beyond its original purpose of relating the thermodynamic properties of matter to microscopic dynamics. Its main ideas and methods have been extended to a huge variety of fields and disciplines, making it a truly cross-disciplinary science. The point of view of modern statistical mechanics, indeed, consists in focusing on collective properties of systems with a large number of degrees of freedom, neglecting the details of their single components. In such a way, it is possible to deduce very general and universal laws, applying to very different situations.

The aim of this series is to cover the most interesting topics of contemporary statistical mechanics, as well as its main areas of application, with very readable books, which are at once rigorous and written in didactic style.

The first fourteen volumes were published between 1985 and 2000 with Prof. Mario Rasetti (Politechnico di Torino as the series editor).
