Stochastic Analysis and Mathematical Physics by Rolando Rebolledo,Jorge Rezende,Jean-Claude Zambrini Pdf
The book collects a series of papers centered on two main streams: Feynman path integral approach to Quantum Mechanics and statistical mechanics of quantum open systems. Key authors discuss the state-of-the-art within their fields of expertise. In addition, the volume includes a number of contributed papers with new results, which have been thoroughly refereed. The contributions in this volume highlight emergent research in the area of stochastic analysis and mathematical physics, focusing, in particular on Feynman functional integral approach and, on the other hand, in quantum probability. The book is addressed to an audience of mathematical physicists, as well as specialists in probability theory, stochastic analysis and operator algebras. The proceedings have been selected for coverage in: • Index to Scientific & Technical Proceedings (ISTP CDROM version / ISI Proceedings) • CC Proceedings — Engineering & Physical Sciences Contents: Rigorous Feynman Path Integrals, with Applications to Quantum Theory, Gauge Fields, and Topological Invariants (S Albeverio et al.)Vassiliev Invariants and Functional Integration without Integration (L H Kauffman)Wiener Analysis and Cyclic Homology (R Léandre)On the Affine Metaplectic Group (O Rask)Open Quantum Systems and Classical Trajectories (R Rebolledo)Fourier-Feynman Transforms on Wiener Spaces (I Yoo et al.)On Quantum Stochastic Dynamics. Some Recent Developments (A W Majewski)Non Adapted Transformations of the Wiener Measure (A B Cruzeiro)and other papers Readership: Academic, specialists in mathematical physics and probability. Keywords:Feynmann Path Integrals;Open Quantum Systems;Quantum Markov Semigroups;Quantum Statistical Mechanics;Wiener Analysis;White Noise Analysis;Operator AlgebrasKey Features:Special survey papers in the area of Feynmann functional integrals.
