Download or read book Symmetry And Structural Properties Of Condensed Matter, Proceedings Of The Sixth's International School Of Theoretical Physics written by Tadeusz Lulek and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2001-05-31 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume continues the series of proceedings of summer schools on theoretical physics related to various aspects of the structure of condensed matter, and to appropriate mathematical methods for an adequate description. Three main topics are covered: (i) symmetric and unitary groups versus electron correlations in multicentre systems; (ii) conformal symmetries, the Bethe ansatz and quantum groups; (iii) paradoxes of statistics, space-time, and time quantum mechanics. Problems considered in previous schools are merged with some new developments, like statistics with continuous Young diagrams, the existence and structure of energy bands in solids with fullerenes, membranes and some coverings of graphite sheets, or vortex condensates with quantum counterparts of Maxwell lows.
