Operator Algebras and Quantum Statistical Mechanics
by Ola Bratteli, Derek W. Robinson
Publisher: Springer 2003
ISBN/ASIN: 3540170936
ISBN-13: 9783540170938
Number of pages: 505
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.
