Description:
These two volumes present the theory of operator algebras with applications to quantum statistical mechanics. The authors' approach to the operator theory is to a large extent governed by the dictates of the physical applications. The book is self-contained and most proofs are presented in detail, which makes it a useful text for students with a knowledge of basic functional analysis.

This book at the beginning graduate level will help students with primary interests elsewhere to acquire a facility with tools of a functional analytic flavor, say in harmonic analysis, numerical analysis, stochastic processes, or in physics.

These lecture notes are an expanded version of a set written for a course given to final-year undergraduates at the University of Oxford. A thorough understanding of Banach and Hilbert spaces is a prerequisite for this material.

A classic of pure mathematics, this advanced text explores the intersection of functional analysis and analytic function theory. Close in spirit to abstract harmonic analysis, it is confined to Banach spaces of analytic functions in the unit disc.

Fredholm operators are one of the most important classes of linear operators in mathematics. The aim of these notes is an essentially self-contained introduction to the spectral flow for paths of (generally unbounded) selfadjoint Fredholm operators.
