Summary: This volume provides a compact presentation of modern statistical physics at an advanced level. Beginning with questions on the foundations of statistical mechanics all important aspects of statistical physics are included, such as applications to ideal gases, the theory of quantum liquids and superconductivity and the modern theory of critical phenomena. Beyond that attention is given to new approaches, such as quantum field theory methods and non-equilibrium problems.Summary: Intro -- Preface -- 1 Basic principles of statistics -- 1.1 Introduction -- 1.2 Distribution functions -- 1.3 Statistical independence -- 1.4 Liouville theorem -- 1.5 Role of energy, microcanonical distribution -- 1.6 Partial distribution functions -- 1.7 Density matrix -- 1.7.1 Pure ensemble -- 1.7.2 Mixed ensemble -- 1.8 Quantum Liouville equation -- 1.9 Microcanonical distribution in quantum statistics -- 1.10 Partial density matrices -- 1.11 Entropy -- 1.11.1 Gibbs entropy.
