Graph and Network Theory in Physics: A Short Introduction
by Ernesto Estrada
Publisher: arXiv 2013
Number of pages: 53
Description:
A book Chapter consisting of some of the main areas of research in graph theory applied to physics. It includes graphs in condensed matter theory, such as the tight-binding and the Hubbard model. It follows the study of graph theory and statistical physics by means of the analysis of the Potts model...

Invariance Theory, the Heat Equation and the Atiyah-Singer Index Theoremby Peter B. Gilkey - Publish or Perish Inc.
This book treats the Atiyah-Singer index theorem using the heat equation, which gives a local formula for the index of any elliptic complex. Heat equation methods are also used to discuss Lefschetz fixed point formulas and the Gauss-Bonnet theorem.

Harmonic Oscillators and Two-by-two Matrices in Symmetry Problems in Physicsby Young Suh Kim (ed.) - MDPI AG
With a degree of exaggeration, modern physics is the physics of harmonic oscillators and two-by-two matrices. Indeed, they constitute the basic language for the symmetry problems in physics, and thus the main theme of this journal.
