The mathematical study of the Bose gas goes back to the ?rst quarter of the twentieth century, with the invention of quantum mechanics. The name refers to the Indian physicist S.N. Bose who realized in 1924 that the statistics governing photons(essentiallyinventedbyMaxPlanckin1900)isdetermined(usingmodern terminology) by restricting the physical Hilbert space to be the symmetric tensor product of single photon states. Shortly afterwards, Einstein applied this idea to massive particles, such as a gas of atoms, and discovered the phenomenon that we now call Bose-Einstein condensation. At that time this was viewed as a mathematical curiosity with little experimental interest, however. The peculiar ... Read more

Reviews for The Mathematics Of The Bose Gas And Its
"The presentation provides significant insight into a large part of the current issues of interest in the physics of Bose systems and especially into the "kitchen" of several relevant mathematical techniques. As such, it is highly recommended to both advanced researchers and students preparing to work in this field." (Mathematical Reviews)
