Synopsis

Number Theory and Physics consists of two types of contributions: mathematicians write on problems relevant to theoretical physics, and theoretical physicists present problems relevant to number theory. This combination aims to promote understanding between the two fields, which will undoubtedly aid further developments. The topics treated include: - modular forms - spectra of operators - the Hall effect - quasicrystals - the Riemann zeta function - stochastic processes - integrable systems

Présentation de l'éditeur

The contributions to this book can be divided into two categories: those in which mathematicians write on problems relevant to theoretical physics, and those dealing with problems relevant to number theory, written by physicists. Many recent developments in theoretical physics display aspects related to number theory, and this cooperation will be furthered by this volume. The authors from each discipline have taken pains to present their contributions in a manner that is attractive and understandable to readers from the other discipline. The subjects covered include: modular forms and applications to quantum field theory for strings, number theoretical aspects of the spectra of operators applied to the Hall effect, quasicrystals, almost periodic systems, the Riemann zeta function, applications of number theory to dynamical systems, statistical mechanics, lattices, stochastic processes and integrable systems.
