Paperback. Series: Lecture Notes in Physics. Num Pages: 391 pages, 3 black & white illustrations, 12 colour illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PBWH; PHS; PHU. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 158 x 235 x 26. Weight in Grams: 618.
This text presents the mathematical concepts of Grassmann variables and the method of supersymmetry to a broad audience of physicists interested in applying these tools to disordered and critical systems, as well as related topics in statistical physics. Based on many courses and seminars held by the author, one of the pioneers in this field, the reader is given a systematic and tutorial introduction to the subject matter. The algebra and analysis of Grassmann variables is presented in part I. The mathematics of these variables is applied to a random matrix model, path ... Read more

Reviews for Supermathematics and its Applications in Statistical Physics: Grassmann Variables and the Method of Supersymmetry
This volume of Lecture Notes in Physics presents in three parts the topics of Grassmann algebra and its applications and the subject of supermathematics, where commuting and anticommuting variables are treated on equal footing, and its applications. ... it may be of interest to those already in the field who want to expand their knowledge in both the underlying mathematics ...
