商品描述

The third edition of the by now classic reference on rigorous analysis of symmetry breaking in both classical and quantum field theories adds new topics of relevance, in particular the effect of dynamical Coulomb delocalization, by which boundary conditions give rise to volume effects and to energy/mass gap in the Goldstone spectrum (plasmon spectrum, Anderson superconductivity, Higgs phenomenon). The book closes with a discussion of the physical meaning of global and local gauge symmetries and their breaking, with attention to the effect of gauge group topology in QCD.

From the reviews of the first edition:

It is remarkable to see how much material can actually be presented in a rigorous way (incidentally, many of the results presented are due to Strocchi himself), yet this is largely ignored, the original heuristic derivations being, as a rule, more popular. - At each step he strongly emphasizes the physical meaning and motivation of the various notions introduced [...] a book that fills a conspicuous gap in the literature, and does it rather well. It could also be a good basis for a graduate course in mathematical physics. J.-P. Antoine, Physicalia 28/2, 2006

Despite many accounts in popular textbooks and a widespread belief, the phenomenon is rather subtle, requires an infinite set of degrees of freedom and an advanced mathematical setting of the system under investigation. [...] The mathematically oriented graduate student will certainly benefit from this thorough, rigorous and detailed investigation. G. Roepstorff, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1075, 2006

From the reviews of the second edition:

This second edition of Strocchi's Symmetry Breaking presents a complete, generalized and highly rigorous discussion of the subject, based on a formal analysis of conditions necessary for the mechanism of spontaneous symmetry breaking to occur in classical systems, as well as in quantum systems. [...] This book is specifically recommended for mathematical physicists interested in a deeper and rigorous understanding of the subject, and it should be mandatory for researchers studying the mechanism of spontaneous symmetry breaking. S. Hajjawi, Mathematical Reviews, 2008

商品描述(中文翻譯)

第三版的這本經典參考書，針對古典與量子場論中對稱破缺的嚴謹分析，新增了相關主題，特別是動態庫倫去局域化的影響，這使得邊界條件產生體積效應以及在Goldstone光譜中的能量/質量間隙（等離子體光譜、安德森超導現象、希格斯現象）。書末討論了全局與局部規範對稱及其破缺的物理意義，並關注規範群拓撲在量子色動力學（QCD）中的影響。

來自第一版的評價：
「令人驚訝的是，實際上可以以嚴謹的方式呈現如此多的材料（順便提一下，許多結果都是Strocchi本人所提出），然而這在很大程度上被忽視，原始的啟發式推導通常更受歡迎。——在每一步中，他強調了各種概念的物理意義和動機[...]這本書填補了文獻中的一個顯著空白，並且做得相當好。它也可以成為數學物理研究生課程的良好基礎。J.-P. Antoine, Physicalia 28/2, 2006」

「儘管在流行的教科書中有許多描述以及廣泛的信念，這一現象相當微妙，需要無限的自由度和對所研究系統的高級數學設定。[...] 對於數學導向的研究生來說，這本徹底、嚴謹且詳細的研究將無疑帶來好處。G. Roepstorff, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1075, 2006」

來自第二版的評價：
「Strocchi的對稱破缺第二版提供了對該主題的完整、一般化和高度嚴謹的討論，基於對古典系統和量子系統中自發對稱破缺機制所需條件的形式分析。[...] 這本書特別推薦給對該主題有更深入和嚴謹理解的數學物理學家，並且應該成為研究自發對稱破缺機制的研究人員的必讀書籍。S. Hajjawi, Mathematical Reviews, 2008」
