This manual provides comprehensive information for the Lectures on Selected Topics in Statistical Mechanics. This collection of lectures from the 1971 Simla Summer School of Statistical Mechanics explores a wide range of advanced topics in the field. The content delves into occupation number representation, the Green function method, and detailed models for Bose gases, including their equations of state. Furthermore, it presents a straightforward derivation of the Bloch equation and examines the statistical mechanics of stellar systems.
The purpose of this manual is to serve as a detailed reference for physicists and researchers interested in statistical mechanics. It is structured into eight chapters, beginning with ensemble theory and progressing through complex theoretical frameworks. The manual covers essential concepts such as quantum and classical ensembles, diagrammatic techniques, and approaches to equilibrium, offering a thorough exploration of the subject matter for those seeking in-depth knowledge.
Lectures on Selected Topics in Statistical Mechanics is a collection of lectures given at the 1971 Simla Summer School of Statistical Mechanics held in India. The lectures explore a wide range of topics related to statistical mechanics, including occupation number representation; the Green function method; the pair Hamiltonian model of an imperfect Bose gas; fluctuations in a perfect Bose gas; and the equation of state of an imperfect gas. A simple derivation of the Bloch equation is also presented, along with the statistical mechanics of stellar systems.
Comprised of eight chapters, this volume begins with a discussion on the occupation number representation by considering some relevant formulae from ensemble theory. Classical petit and grand ensembles are described, together with quanta1 petit and grand ensembles. Subsequent chapters focus on the Green function method in statistical mechanics; the pair Hamiltonian model of the imperfect Bose gas and its solution in the absence of Bose-Einstein condensation using Green function methods and diagrammatic techniques; fluctuations in a perfect Bose gas; the equation of state of an imperfect gas; and a simple derivation of the Bloch equation. Finally, the statistical mechanics of stellar systems and an approach to equilibrium are described.
This book will be of interest to physicists.
