Fourth Summer School in Analysis and Mathematical Physics

Download or read book Fourth Summer School in Analysis and Mathematical Physics written by Carlos Villegas-Blas and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2008-12-02 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book consists of three expository articles written by outstanding researchers in Mathematical Physics: Rafael Benguria, Peter Hislop, and Elliott Lieb. The articles are based on their lectures at the Fourth Summer School in Analysis and Mathematical Physics, held at the Institute of Mathematics, Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico, Cuernavaca in May 2005. The main goal of the articles is to link the basic knowledge of a graduate student in Mathematics with three current research topics in Mathematical Physics: Isoperimetric inequalities for eigenvalues of the Laplace Operator, Random Schrodinger Operators, and Stability of Matter, respectively. These well written articles will guide and introduce the reader to current research topics and will also provide information on recent progress in some areas of Mathematical Physics.
