Algebra versus analysis in statistical mechanics and quantum field theory
I contrast the profound differences in the ways in which algebra and analysis are used in physics. In particular I discuss the fascinating phenomenon that theoretical physicists devote almost all their efforts to algebraic problems even though all problems of experimental interest require some methods of analysis.
متن کاملCategorified Algebra and Quantum Mechanics
The process some call ‘categorification’ consists of interpreting set-theoretic structures in mathematics as derived from category-theoretic structures. Examples include the interpretation of as the Burnside rig of the category of finite sets with product and coproduct, and of [x] in terms the category of combinatorial species. This has interesting applications to quantum mechanics, and in part...
متن کاملQuantum Mechanics_ Quantum statistical mechanics
Quantum statistical mechanics is statistical mechanics applied to quantum mechanical systems. In quantum mechanics a statistical ensemble (probability distribution over possiblequantum states) is described by a density operatorS, which is a nonnegative, self-adjoint, trace-classoperator of trace 1 on the Hilbert space Hdescribing the quantum system. This can be shown under various mathematical ...

متن کاملQuantum Chaos and Statistical Mechanics
We briefly review the well known connection between classical chaos and classical statistical mechanics, and the recently discovered connection between quantum chaos and quantum statistical mechanics. Talk given at the Conference on Fundamental Problems in Quantum Theory Baltimore, June 18–22, 1994 Consider a dilute gas of hard spheres in a box with hard walls. Give the spheres some arbitrary i...
