Thermodynamic Formalism: The Mathematical Structure of Equilibrium Statistical Mechanics (Cambridge Mathematical Library)

Resumen

This book is aimed at mathematicians interested in such topics as ergodic theory, topological dynamics, constructive quantum field theory, the study of certain differentiable dynamical systems, notably Anosov diffeomorphisms and flows. It is also of interest to theoretical physicists concerned with the conceptual basis of equilibrium statistical mechanics. The level of the presentation is generally an advanced one, with the objective of providing an efficient research tool and a text for use in graduate teaching.
