This is the second volume of a series of books in various aspects of Mathematical Physics. Mathematical Physics has made great strides in recent years, and is rapidly becoming an important dis cipline in its own right. The fact that physical ideas can help create new mathematical theories, and rigorous mathematical theo rems can help to push the limits of physical theories and solve problems is generally acknowledged. We believe that continuous con tacts between mathematicians and physicists and the resulting dialogue and the cross fertilization of ideas is a good thing. This series of studies is published with this goal in mind. The present volume contains contributions which were original ...
This course-based primer provides an introduction to Lie algebras and some of their applications to the spectroscopy of molecules, atoms, nuclei and hadrons. In the first part, it concisely presents the basic concepts of Lie algebras, their representations and their invariants. The second part includes a description of how Lie algebras are used in practice in the treatment of bosonic and fermionic systems. Physical applications considered include rotations and vibrations of molecules (vibron model), collective modes in nuclei (interacting boson model), the atomic shell model, the nuclear shell model, and the quark model of hadrons. One of the key concepts in the application of Lie algebraic ...

One of the most enduring elements in theoretical physics has been group theory. GROUP 24: Physical and Mathematical Aspects of Symmetries provides an important selection of informative articles describing recent advances in the field. The applications of group theory presented in this book deal not only with the traditional fields of physics, but also include such disciplines as chemistry and biology. Awarded the Wigner Medal and the Weyl Prize, respectively, H.J. Lipkin and E. Frenkel begin the volume with their contributions. Plenary session contributions are represented by 18 longer articles, followed by nearly 200 shorter articles. The book also presents coherent states, wavelets, and applications and quantum group theory and integrable systems in two separate sections. As a record of an international meeting devoted to the physical and mathematical aspects of group theory, GROUP 24: Physical and Mathematical Aspects of Symmetries constitutes an essential reference for all researchers interested in various current developments related to the important concept of symmetry.
Der in Mahren geborene (1871) und an der Akademie der Bildenden Kunste in Wien bei Otto Wagner von 1894-98 ausgebildete Architekt Hubert Gessner war der massgebende Architekt der Bauten der osterreichischen sozialdemokratischen Arbeiterbewegung. Zwischen 1901 und 1934 errichtete er samtliche wichtige Bauten fur die Austromarxisten (u. a. Arbeiterheim Favoriten, Wien, 1901; Partei- und Verlagsgebaude Vorwarts, Wien, 1909; Hammerbrotwerke, Schwechat, 1909; Lassalle-Hof, Wien, 1924; Reumann-Hof, Wien, 1924; Arbeiterkammer, Linz, 1928; Arbeiterkammer, Graz, 1929). Massgebend war er vor allem mit seiner Suche nach einem adaquaten Baustil fur die fortschrittsorientierte Arbeiterpartei, deren Macht...
