Comment le jeune et ambitieux Einstein s'est approprié la Relativité restreinte de Poincaré

Jean Hladik “Comment le jeune et ambitieux Einstein s'est approprié la Relativité restreinte de Poincaré"
Ellipses Marketing | 2004 | ISBN: 2729819541 | 159 pages | DJVU | 1 MB

Une crise profonde va secouer les certitudes des physiciens à la fin du XIXe siècle. Pour y répondre, Henri Poincaré, célèbre mathématicien et physicien, va s'interroger sur les bases les plus fondamentales de la physique, et plus particulièrement sur la notion de temps. Ses travaux, publiés dans diverses revues entre 1898 et 1905, vont le conduire à poser les fondements de la Relativité restreinte. Les textes originaux, très simples, sont repris dans le présent ouvrage. Ceux qui ne connaissent pas la Relativité restreinte peuvent ainsi comprendre aisément les débuts de cette révolution de la pensée scientifique et philosophique. Ceux qui en ont déjà une certaine connaissance comprendront sans doute beaucoup mieux ce qu'ils en savent déjà. Début juin 1905, Poincaré publie les formules de base de la Relativité restreinte. Plus de trois semaines après, Einstein regroupe les principes et les résultats énoncés par Poincaré en un texte unique qui sera longtemps considéré comme le seul acte fondateur de la Relativité restreinte. Einstein a-t-il redécouvert indépendamment ce qui avait été publié avant lui ou a-t-il simplement plagié Poincaré ? Quoi qu'il en soit, étant donnée l'antériorité des textes de Poincaré, leur lecture montre que c'est bien lui qui est le véritable fondateur de la Relativité restreinte.

Non-Equilibrium Phase Transitions

Non-Equilibrium Phase Transitions: Volume 1: Absorbing Phase Transitions
Springer | ISBN: 1402087640 | 2008-12-01 | PDF | 454 pages | 4 Mb

This book describes two main classes of non-equilibrium phase-transitions: (a) static and dynamics of transitions into an absorbing state, and (b) dynamical scaling in far-from-equilibrium relaxation
behaviour and ageing.

The first volume begins with an introductory chapter which recalls the main concepts of phase-transitions, set for the convenience of the reader in an equilibrium context. The extension to non-equilibrium systems is made by using directed percolation as the main paradigm of absorbing phase transitions and in view of the richness of the known results an entire chapter is devoted to it, including a discussion of recent experimental results. Scaling theories and a large set of both numerical and analytical methods for the study of non-equilibrium phase transitions are thoroughly discussed.

The techniques used for directed percolation are then extended to other universality classes and many important results on model parameters are provided for easy reference.

Publisher: Springer | Pages: 432 | 2008-12-01 | ISBN 3540852972 | PDF | 5 MB

"Number Theory in Science and Communication" is a well-known introduction for non-mathematicians to this fascinating and useful branch of applied mathematics . It stresses intuitive understanding rather than abstract theory and highlights important concepts such as continued fractions, the golden ratio, quadratic residues and Chinese remainders, trapdoor functions, pseudo primes and primitive elements. Their applications to problems in the real world are one of the main themes of the book. This revised fifth edition is augmented by recent advances in coding theory, permutations and derangements and a chapter in quantum cryptography.

From reviews of earlier editions –

"I continue to find [Schroeder’s] Number Theory a goldmine of valuable information. It is a marvelous book, in touch with the most recent applications of number theory and written with great clarity and humor.’ Philip Morrison (Scientific American)

"A light-hearted and readable volume with a wide range of applications to which the author has been a productive contributor – useful mathematics outside the formalities of theorem and proof." Martin Gardner

Quantum Electrodynamics

Quantum Electrodynamics

Publisher: Springer | Pages: 491 | 2009-01-01 | ISBN 3540875603 | PDF | 4 MB

This textbook on Quantum Electrodynamics is a thorough introductory text providing all necessary mathematical tools together with many examples and worked problems. In their presentation of the subject the authors adopt a heuristic approach based on the propagator formalism. The latter is introduced in the first two chapters in both its nonrelativistic and relativistic versions. Subsequently, a large number of scattering and radiation processes involving electrons, positrons, and photons are introduced and their theoretical treatment is presented in great detail. Higher order processes and renormalization are also included. The book concludes with a discussion of two-particle states and the interaction of spinless bosons. This completely revised and corrected new edition provides several additions to enable deeper insight in formalism and application of quantum electrodynamics.

Branching Solutions to One-Dimensional Variational Problems
World Scientific Publishing Company | ISBN: 9810240600 | 2001-04 | PDF | 364 pages | 7 Mb

This study deals with the new class of one-dimensional variational problems - the problems with branching solutions. Instead of extreme curves (mappings of a segment to a manifold) it investigates extreme networks, which are mappings of graphs (one-dimensional cell complexes) to a manifold. Various applications of the approach are presented, such as several generalizations of the famous Steiner problem of finding the shortest network spanning given points of the plane.

High Dimensional Nonlinear Diffusion Stochastic Processes

High Dimensional Nonlinear Diffusion Stochastic Processes
World Scientific Publishing Company | ISBN: 9810243855 | 2001-04-15 | PDF | 324 pages | 8 Mb

This work is devoted to high-dimensional (or large-scale) diffusion stochastic processes (DSPs) with nonlinear coefficients. These processes are closely associated with nonlinear Ito's stochastic ordinary differential equations (ISODEs) and with the space-discretized versions of nonlinear Ito's stochastic partial integro-differential equations. The latter models include Ito's stochastic partial differential equations (ISPDEs). The book presents the new analytical treatment which can serve as the basis of a combined, analytical-numerical approach to the greater computational efficiency in engineering problems. A few examples discussed in the book include: the high-dimensional DSPs; the modification of the well-known stochastic-adaptive-interpolation method by means of bases of function spaces; ISPDEs as the tool to consistently model non-Markov phenomena; the ISPDE system for semiconductor devices; the corresponding classification of charge transport in macroscale, mesoscale and microscale semiconductor regions based on the wave-diffusion equation; the fully time-domain nonlinear-friction aware analytical model for the velocity covariance of particle of uniform fluid, simple or dispersed; the specific time-domain analytics for the long, non-exponential "tails" of the velocity in case of the hard-sphere fluid. These examples demonstrate not only the capabilities of the developed techniques but also emphasize the usefulness of the complex-system-related approaches to solve some problems which have not been solved with the traditional, statistical-physics methods yet. From this viewpoint, the book can be regarded as a kind of complement to such books as "Introduction to the Physics of Complex Systems: the Mesoscopic Approach to Fluctuations, Nonlinearity and Self-Organization" by Serra, Andretta, Compiani and Zanarini, "Stochastic Dynamical Systems: Concepts, Numerical Methods, Data Analysis" and "Statistical Physics: An Advanced Approach with Applications" by Honerkamp, which deal with physics of complex systems, some of the corresponding analysis methods and an innvoative, stochastics-based vision of theoretical physics. To facilitate the reading by non-mathematicians, the introductory chapter outlines the basic notions and results of theory of Markov and diffusion stochastic processes without involving the measure-theoretical approach. This presentation is based on probability densities commonly used in engineering and applied sciences
