| Title | Gravitation and Experiment : Poincar?? Seminar 2006 |
| Author(s) | Damour, Thibault;Rivasseau, Vincent |
| Publication | Basel, 1. Birkh??user Basel
2. Imprint: Birkh??user, 2007. |
| Description | X, 138 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book is the sixth in a series of lectures of the S?? eminaire Poincar?? e,whichis directed towards a large audience of physicists and of mathematicians. The goal of this seminar is to provide up-to-date information about general topics of great interest in physics. Both the theoretical and experimental aspects are covered, with some historical background. Inspired by the Bourbaki seminar in mathematics in its organization, hence nicknamed ???Bourbaphi???, the Poincar?? e Seminar is held twice a year at the Institut Henri Poincar?? e in Paris, with cont- butions prepared in advance. Particular care is devoted to the pedagogical nature of the presentations so as to ful?ll the goal of being readable by a large audience of scientists. This volume contains the ninth such Seminar, held in 2006. It is devoted to Relativity and Experiment. This book starts with a detailed introduction to general relativity by T. Damour. It includes a review of what may lie beyond by string theorist I. - toniadis, and collects up-to-date essays on the experimental tests of this theory. General relativity is now a theory well con?rmed by detailed experiments, incl- ing the precise timing of the double pulsar J0737-3039 explained by M. Kramer, member of the team which discovered it in 2003, and satellite missions such as Gravity Probe B described by J. Mester. The search for detecting gravitational waves is also very much under way as reviewed by J.Y. Vinet. Wehopethatthecontinuedpublicationofthisserieswillservethecommunity of physicists and mathematicians at professional or graduate student level |

| Title | The Moon that Wasn't : The Saga of Venus' Spurious Satellite |
| Author(s) | Kragh, Helge |
| Publication | Basel, 1. Birkh??user Basel
2. Imprint: Birkh??user, 2008. |
| Description | XII, 199 p. 33 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book details the history of one of astronomy???s many spurious objects, the satellite of Venus. First spotted in 1645, the non-existing moon was observed more than a dozen times until the late eighteenth century. Although few astronomers believed in the existence of the moon after about 1770, it continued to attract attention for at least another century. However, it has largely disappeared from the history of astronomy, and the rich historical sources have never been exploited. By telling the story of the enigmatic satellite in its proper historical context it is demonstrated that it was much more than a mere curiosity in the annals of astronomy ??? Frederick II of Prussia was familiar with it, and so was Bonnet, Kant and Voltaire. The satellite of Venus belongs to the same category as other fictitious celestial bodies (such as the planet Vulcan), yet it had its own life and fascinating historical trajectory. By following this trajectory, the history of planetary astronomy is addressed in a novel way |

| Title | E.C.G. Stueckelberg, An Unconventional Figure of Twentieth Century Physics : Selected Scientific Papers with Commentaries |
| Author(s) | Lacki, Jan;Ruegg, Henri;Wanders, G??rard |
| Publication | Basel, 1. Birkh??user Basel
2. Imprint: Birkh??user, 2009. |
| Description | XV, 422 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Born in 1905, Ernst C. G. Stueckelberg was professor of theoretical physics at the Universities of Geneva and Lausanne in the years 1930-1970. He was one of the most eminent Swiss physicists of the 20th century. His breakthroughs, from his causal S-matrix to the renormalization group, have influenced the development of contemporary theoretical physics. The book presents a selection of his most important scientific papers. They are preceded with a series of introductory essays, contributed by scientists and historians, specialists of Stueckelberg???s achievements and time. These essays deal with the scientific context and the issues of the various topics that Stueckelberg tackled in his scientific career and serve as an enlightening complement to the reprinted papers. The volume also contains Stueckelberg???s concise biography and an exhaustive list of his publications. It ambitions to provide an authoritative source gathering in a single place all the material needed to assess the scientific achievements of one of the most important, albeit somehow overlooked, scientists of 20th century |

| Title | Rigorous Quantum Field Theory : A Festschrift for Jacques Bros |
| Author(s) | Boutet de Monvel, Anne;Buchholz, Detlev;Iagolnitzer, Daniel;Moschella, Ugo |
| Publication | Basel, 1. Birkh??user Basel
2. Imprint: Birkh??user, 2007. |
| Description | VI, 326 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Jacques Bros has greatly advanced our present understanding of rigorous quantum field theory through numerous fundamental contributions. This book arose from an international symposium held in honour of Jacques Bros on the occasion of his 70th birthday, at the Department of Theoretical Physics of the CEA in Saclay, France. The impact of the work of Jacques Bros is evident in several articles in this book. Quantum fields are regarded as genuine mathematical objects, whose various properties and relevant physical interpretations must be studied in a well-defined mathematical framework. The key topics in this volume include analytic structures of Quantum Field Theory (QFT), renormalization group methods, gauge QFT, stability properties and extension of the axiomatic framework, QFT on models of curved spacetimes, QFT on noncommutative Minkowski spacetime. Contributors: D. Bahns, M. Bertola, R. Brunetti, D. Buchholz, A. Connes, F. Corbetta, S. Doplicher, M. Dubois-Violette, M. D??tsch, H. Epstein, C.J. Fewster, K. Fredenhagen, C. G??rard, D.

| Title | Spinors in Four-Dimensional Spaces |
| Author(s) | Torres del Castillo, Gerardo F |
| Publication | Boston, MA, 1. Birkh??user Boston
2. Imprint: Birkh??user, 2010. |
| Description | VIII, 177 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Without using the customary Clifford algebras frequently studied in connection with the representations of orthogonal groups, this book gives an elementary introduction to the two-component spinor formalism for four-dimensional spaces with any signature. Some of the useful applications of four-dimensional spinors, such as Yang???Mills theory, are derived in detail using illustrative examples. Key topics and features: ??? Uniform treatment of the spinor formalism for four-dimensional spaces of any signature, not only the usual signature (+ + + ???) employed in relativity ??? Examples taken from Riemannian geometry and special or general relativity are discussed in detail, emphasizing the usefulness of the two-component spinor formalism ??? Exercises in each chapter ??? The relationship of Clifford algebras and Dirac four-component spinors is established ??? Applications of the two-component formalism, focusing mainly on general relativity, are presented in the context of actual computations Spinors in Four-Dimensional Spaces is aimed at graduate students and researchers in mathematical and theoretical physics interested in the applications of the two-component spinor formalism in any four-dimensional vector space or Riemannian manifold with a definite or indefinite metric tensor. This systematic and self-contained book is suitable as a seminar text, a reference book, and a self-study guide. Reviews from the author's previous book, 3-D Spinors, Spin-Weighted Functions and their Applications: In summary???the book gathers much of what can be done with 3-D spinors in an easy-to-read, self-contained form designed for applications that will supplement many available spinor treatments. The book???should be appealing to graduate students and researchers in relativity and mathematical physics. ???Mathematical Reviews The present book provides an easy-to-read and unconventional presentation of the spinor formalism for three-dimensional spaces with a definite or indefinite metric...Following a nice and descriptive introduction???the final chapter contains some applications of the formalism to general relativity. ???Monatshefte f??r Mathematik |

| Title | Flows of Reactive Fluids |
| Author(s) | Prud'homme, Roger |
| Publication | Boston, MA, 1. Birkh??user Boston
2. Imprint: Birkh??user, 2010. |
| Description | XXIV, 476 p. 176 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The modeling of reactive flows has progressed mainly with advances in aerospace, which gave birth to a new science called aerothermochemistry, as well as through developments in chemical and process engineering. The methods employed, the phenomena investigated, and the aims of modeling differ for each field; however, in all cases, the results obtained have considerably enriched the working knowledge of reactive flows. This work examines basic concepts and methods necessary to study reactive flows and transfer phenomena in areas such as fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, and chemistry. Specific topics covered include: * Equations of state * Transfer phenomena and chemical kinetics * Balance equations of reactive flows * Dimensionless numbers and similarity * Chemical reactors * Coupled phenomena * Turbulent flow concepts * Boundary layers and fluid layers * Reactive and nonreactive waves * Interface phenomena * Multiphase flow concepts The book presents tools of interest to graduate students, researchers in mathematical physics, and engineers who wish to investigate problems of reactive flows. Portions of the text may be used in courses on the physics of liquids or in seminars on mechanics |

| Title | Computer Algebra Recipes for Mathematical Physics |
| Author(s) | Enns, Richard H |
| Publication | Boston, MA, 1. Birkh??user Boston
2. Imprint: Birkh??user, 2005. |
| Description | XV, 392 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Over two hundred novel and innovative computer algebra worksheets or "recipes" will enable readers in engineering, physics, and mathematics to easily and rapidly solve and explore most problems they encounter in their mathematical physics studies. While the aim of this text is to illustrate applications, a brief synopsis of the fundamentals for each topic is presented, the topics being organized to correlate with those found in traditional mathematical physics texts. The recipes are presented in the form of stories and anecdotes, a pedagogical approach that makes a mathematically challenging subject easier and more fun to learn. Key features: * Uses the MAPLE computer algebra system to allow the reader to easily and quickly change the mathematical models and the parameters and then generate new answers * No prior knowledge of MAPLE is assumed; the relevant MAPLE commands are introduced on a need-to-know basis * All MAPLE commands are indexed for easy reference * A classroom-tested story/anecdote format is used, accompanied with amusing or thought-provoking quotations This is a self-contained and standalone text, similar in style and format to Computer Algebra Recipes: A Gourmet's Guide to Mathematical Models of Science (ISBN 0-387-95148-2), Springer New York 2001 and Computer Algebra Recipes for Classical Mechanics (ISBN 0-8176-4291-9), Birkh??user 2003. Computer Algebra Recipes for Mathematical Physics may be used in the classroom, for self-study, as a reference, or as a text for an online course |
