Preface

These notes cover a set of eighteen lectures delivered at th e Zentrum f~r interdisziplin~re Forschung of the University of Bielefeld in the summer of 1975 as part of the year long project "Mathematical Problems of Quantum Dynamics".

It is a pleasure to thank the Zentrum

for the opportunity to give these lectures and the Physics faculty of the University of Bielefeld for their warmth and hospitality. people deserve special %hanks:L. C. Pfister,
