Description for Mathematical Topics Between Classical and Quantum Mechanics (Springer Monographs in Mathematics)
Hardcover. Draws on two traditions: the algebraic formulation of quantum mechanics and quantum field theory, and the geometric theory of classical mechanics. These are combined in a unified treatment of the theory of Poisson algebras of observables and pure state spaces with a transition probability. Series: Springer Monographs in Mathematics. Num Pages: 529 pages, 2 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: PBW; PHD; PHQ. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 240 x 163 x 35. Weight in Grams: 942.
This monograph draws on two traditions: the algebraic formulation of quantum mechanics as well as quantum field theory, and the geometric theory of classical mechanics. These are combined in a unified treatment of the theory of Poisson algebras of observables and pure state spaces with a transition probability, which leads on to a discussion of the theory of quantization and the classical limit from this perspective. A prototype of quantization comes from the analogy between the C*- algebra of a Lie groupoid and the Poisson algebra of the corresponding Lie algebroid. The parallel between reduction of symplectic manifolds in classical ... Read more
