The methods described rely on the use of path integration, thermal Green functions, time-temperature propagators, Liouville operators, second quantization, and field correlators at finite density and temperature. Also exploring the statistical mechanics of unstable quantum systems, the book is intended as a supplementary or reference text for use in one-semester graduate courses on Quantum Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Electromagnetism, and Mathematical Methods in Physics. .PPN: PPN: 1734627506Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-2-LNP | ZDB-2-PHA | ZDB-2-SEB | ZDB-2-SXP
