Unstable Systems

This book focuses on unstable systems both from the classical and the quantum mechanical points of view and studies the relations between them. The first part deals with quantum systems. Here the main methods are critically described, such as the Gamow ap

Unstable Systems

Mathematical Physics Studies Series Editors Giuseppe Dito, Dijon, France Edward Frenkel, Berkeley, CA, USA Sergei Gukov, Pasadena, CA, USA Yasuyuki Kawahigashi, Tokyo, Japan Maxim Kontsevich, Bures-sur-Yvette, France Nicolaas P. Landsman, Nijmegen, The Netherlands Bruno Nachtergaele, Davis, CA, USA

The series publishes original research monographs on contemporary mathematical physics. The focus is on important recent developments at the interface of Mathematics, and Mathematical and Theoretical Physics. These will include, but are not restricted to: application of algebraic geometry, D-modules and symplectic geometry, category theory, number theory, low-dimensional topology, mirror symmetry, string theory, quantum field theory, noncommutative geometry, operator algebras, functional analysis, spectral theory, and probability theory.
