Properties of systems with long range interactions are still poorly understood despite being of importance in most areas of physics. The present volume introduc

Recent experimental evidence about the possibility of "absolute negative temperature" states in physical systems has triggered a stimulating debate about the co

The workshop was about the developments of the thermodynamical and dynamical behavior of many-body systems in which the interactions decay very slowly with the

This book deals with an important class of many-body systems: those where the interaction potential decays slowly for large inter-particle distances; in particu
