Operator Algebras and Quantum Statistical Mechanics Equilibrium Stat
In this chapter, and the following one, we examine various applications of C*-algebras and their states to statistical mechanics. Principally we analyze the structural properties of the equilibrium states of quantum systems con sisting of a large number
