Book Synopsis Topological Solitons by : Nicholas Manton
Download or read book Topological Solitons written by Nicholas Manton and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2004-06-10 with total page 507 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Topological solitons occur in many nonlinear classical field theories. They are stable, particle-like objects, with finite mass and a smooth structure. Examples are monopoles and Skyrmions, Ginzburg-Landau vortices and sigma-model lumps, and Yang-Mills instantons. This book is a comprehensive survey of static topological solitons and their dynamical interactions. Particular emphasis is placed on the solitons which satisfy first-order Bogomolny equations. For these, the soliton dynamics can be investigated by finding the geodesics on the moduli space of static multi-soliton solutions. Remarkable scattering processes can be understood this way. The book starts with an introduction to classical field theory, and a survey of several mathematical techniques useful for understanding many types of topological soliton. Subsequent chapters explore key examples of solitons in one, two, three and four dimensions. The final chapter discusses the unstable sphaleron solutions which exist in several field theories.

Feathers' in R. van Gulik's The Chinese Maze Murders. Growing specialization and diversification have brought a host of mono graphs and textbooks on increasingly topics. However, the "tree" of knowledge of mathematics and related fields does not grow only by putting forth new branches. It also happens, quite often in fact, that branches which were thought to be completely disparate are suddenly seen to be related. Further, the kind and level of sophistication of mathematics applied in various sciences has changed drastically in recent years: measure theory is used (non-trivially) in regional and theoretical economics; algebraic geometry interacts with physics; the Minkowsky lemma, coding theory and the structure of water meet one another in packing and covering theory; quantum fields, crystal defects and mathematical pro gramming profit from homotopy theory; Lie algebras are relevant to filtering; and prediction and electric engineering can use Stein spaces. And in addition to this there are such new emerging subdisciplines as "complete integrable systems", "chaos, synergetics and large-scale order", which are almost impossible to fit into the existing classifica tion schemes.

Book Synopsis Conceptual Foundations of Modern Particle Physics by : Robert E Marshak
Download or read book Conceptual Foundations of Modern Particle Physics written by Robert E Marshak and published by World Scientific Publishing Company. This book was released on 1993-03-31 with total page 704 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For scientific, technological and organizational reasons, the end of World War II (in 1945) saw a rapid acceleration in the tempo of discovery and understanding in nuclear physics, cosmic rays and quantum field theory, which together triggered the birth of modern particle physics. The first fifteen years (1945–60) following the war's end — the “Startup Period” in modern particle physics -witnessed a series of major experimental and theoretical developments that began to define the conceptual contours (non-Abelian internal symmetries, Yang-Mills fields, renormalization group, chirality invariance, baryon-lepton symmetry in weak interactions, spontaneous symmetry breaking) of the quantum field theory of three of the basic interactions in nature (electromagnetic, strong and weak). But it took another fifteen years (1960-75) — the “Heroic Period” in modern particle physics — to unravel the physical content and complete the mathematical formulation of the standard gauge theory of the strong and electroweak interactions among the three generations of quarks and leptons. The impressive accomplishments during the “Heroic Period” were followed by what is called the “period of consolidation and speculation (1975–1990)”, which includes the experimental consolidation of the standard model (SM) through precision tests, theoretical consolidation of SM through the search for more rigorous mathematical solutions to the Yang-Mills-Higgs equations, and speculative theoretical excursions “beyond SM”. Within this historical-conceptual framework, the author — himself a practicing particle theorist for the past fifty years — attempts to trace the highlights in the conceptual evolution of modern particle physics from its early beginnings until the present time. Apart from the first chapter — which sketches a broad overview of the entire field — the remaining nine chapters of the book offer detailed discussions of the major concepts and principles that prevailed and were given wide currency during each of the fifteen-year periods that comprise the history of modern particle physics. Those concepts and principles that contributed only peripherally to the standard model are given less coverage but an attempt is made to inform the reader about such contributions (which may turn out to be significant at a future time) and to suggest references that supply more information. Chapters 2 and 3 of the book cover a range of topics that received dedicated attention during the “Startup Period” although some of the results were not incorporated into the structure of the standard model. Chapters 4-6 constitute the core of the book and try to recapture much of the conceptual excitement of the “Heroic Period”, when quantum flavordynamics (QFD) and quantum chromodynamics (QCD) received their definitive formulation. [It should be emphasized that, throughout the book, logical coherence takes precedence over historical chronology (e.g. some of the precision tests of QFD are discussed in Chapter 6)]. Chapter 7 provides a fairly complete discussion of the chiral gauge anomalies in four dimensions with special application to the standard model (although the larger unification models are also considered). The remaining three chapters of the book (Chapters 7-10) cover concepts and principles that originated primarily during the “Period of Consolidation and Speculation” but, again, this is not a literal statement. Chapters 8 and 9 report on two of the main directions that were pursued to overcome acknowledged deficiencies of the standard model: unification models in Chapter 8 and attempts to account for the existence of precisely three generations of quarks and leptons, primarily by means of preon models, in Chapter 9. The most innovative of the final three chapters of the book is Chapter 10 on topological conservation laws. This last chapter tries to explain the significance of topologically non-trivial solutions in four-dimensional (space-time) particle physics (e.g. 't Hooft-Polyakov monopoles, instantons, sphalerons, global SU(2) anomaly, Wess-Zumino term, etc.) and to reflect on some of the problems that have ensued (e.g. the “strong CP problem” in QCD) from this effort. It turns out that the more felicitous topological applications of field theory are found — as of now — in condensed matter physics; these successful physical applications (to polyacetylene, quantized magnetic flux in type-II low temperature superconductivity, etc.) are discussed in Chapter 10, as a good illustration of the conceptual unity of modern physics.

Book excerpt: Since their discovery a mere thirty years ago, solitons have been invoked to explain such diverse phenomena as: The long lived 'giant red spot' in the highly turbulent Jovian atmosphere. The famous Fermi-Pasta-Ulam paradox wherein a nonlinearly coupled lattice of particles does not display the expected equipartition of energy among available modes: ion-acoustic waves in a plasma; energy storage and transfer in proteins via the Davydov soliton; and, the propagation of short laser pulses in optical fibres over long distances with negligible shape change. This volume presents important research from around the globe.
Download or read book Solitons written by S.E. Trullinger and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 916 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the twenty years since Zabusky and Kruskal coined the term ``soliton'', this concept changed the outlook on certain types of nonlinear phenomena and found its way into all branches of physics. The present volume deals with a great variety of applications of the new concept in condensed-matter physics, which is particularly reached in experimentally observable occurrences. The presentation is not centred around the mathematical aspects; the emphasis is on the physical nature of the nonlinear phenomena occurring in particular situations. With its emphasis on concrete, mostly experimentally verifiable cases, ``Solitons'' constitutes a very readable and instructive introduction to the subject as well as an up-to-date account of current developments in a field of research reaching maturity.
Download or read book Soliton Nature written by Sergei Eremenko and published by Amazon. This book was released on 2019-12-04 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dedicated to a broad audience and scientists, this new-generation, easy-to-read, pictorial, interactive book uses beautiful photography, video channel, and computer scripts in R and Python to demonstrate existing and explore new solitons – the magnificent and versatile energy concentration phenomenon of nature. With 200 images and videos collected around the world and on magnificent Australian beaches, we describe captivating stand-alone ocean solitons capable of travelling hundreds of miles uninterrupted. Along with scary tsunamis, the tricky solitonic bores propagating upstream narrow river channels may cause disasters for coastal cities. Sudden killer rogue waves endanger even large ships. Powerful tornadoes, surfing tubes, whirlpools and rotating galaxies are solitonic vortices. Unique videos of breathers and soliton envelope waves, with legendary 'Ninth Wave' in the middle, are commented by some legendary scientists. Beautiful photography of square grid waves confirms tendency of nature to produce multi-dimensional formations. Solitonic dislocations and defects are widespread in metal shapes around us. Solitonic energy localization effects appear in swing movements of humans perfected them in many sports and dances. We also explore new solitonic hypothesis and theories. Geosolitons may have played an important role in formation of mountain ranges and sedimentary rocks. Using solitonic functions for heart blood pressure pulses may lead to new-generation devices. Solitonic dislocation and stability effects may exist in behaviour of correlated financial markets. New class of atomic solitons can be used to describe Higgs boson (‘the god particle’) fields, spacetime quanta and other fundamental building blocks of nature.

Book Synopsis Solitons in Macromolecular Systems by : Leonid Isaakovich Manevich
Download or read book Solitons in Macromolecular Systems written by Leonid Isaakovich Manevich and published by Nova Publishers. This book was released on 2008 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the issue of non-linear problems that have dominated the forefront of physics. To analyse these problems, it is necessary to develop mathematical methods to match new concepts. In this connection, for the first time in a long time, the same key notions have attracted the attention of physicists and mathematicians. This book discusses how the role of such excitations in essentially non-linear systems is similar to that of harmonic oscillations and waves in linear physical models.
Book Synopsis Classical Topology and Quantum States by : A P Balachandran
Download or read book Classical Topology and Quantum States written by A P Balachandran and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1991-05-16 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an introduction to the role of topology in the quantization of classical systems. It is also an introduction to topological solitons with special emphasis on Skyrmions. As regards the first aspect, several issues of current interest are dealt with at a reasonably elementary level. Examples are principal fibre bundles and their role in quantum physics, the possibility of spinorial quantum states in a Lagrangian theory based on tensorial variables, and multiply connected configuration spaces and associated quantum phenomena like the QCD q angle and exotic statistics. The ideas are also illustrated by simple examples such as the spinning particle, the charge-monopole system and strings in 3+1 dimensions. The application of these ideas to quantum gravity is another subject treated at an introductory level. An attempt has been made in this book to introduce the reader to the significance of topology for many distinct physical systems such as spinning particles, the charge- monopole system, strings, Skyrmions, QCD and gravity. The book is an outgrowth of lectures given by the authors at various institutions and conferences.
