Description for Symplectic Geometry and Quantum Mechanics (Operator Theory: Advances and Applications)
Hardcover. Offers a discussion of techniques and topics intervening in the mathematical treatment of quantum and semi-classical mechanics. This book starts with a readable introduction to symplectic geometry as many topics are also of genuine interest for pure mathematicians working in geometry and topology. Series: Operator Theory: Advances and Applications / Advances in Partial Differential Equations. Num Pages: 388 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PBK. Category: (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 22. Weight in Grams: 895.
Introduction We have been experiencing since the 1970s a process of “symplectization” of S- ence especially since it has been realized that symplectic geometry is the natural language of both classical mechanics in its Hamiltonian formulation, and of its re?nement,quantum mechanics. The purposeof this bookis to providecorema- rial in the symplectic treatment of quantum mechanics, in both its semi-classical and in its “full-blown” operator-theoretical formulation, with a special emphasis on so-called phase-space techniques. It is also intended to be a work of reference for the reading of more advanced texts in the rapidly expanding areas of sympl- tic geometry and ... Read more

Reviews for Symplectic Geometry and Quantum Mechanics (Operator Theory: Advances and Applications)
From the reviews: "De Gosson’s book is an exhaustive and clear description of almost all the more recent results obtained in connected areas of research like symplectiv geometry, the combinatorial theory of the Maslov index, the theory of the metaplectic group and so on. It fills an important niche in the literature." -Mircea Crâsmareanu, Analele Stiintifice "This book ... Read more
