Bose-Einstein Condensation and Liquid Helium

Bose-Einstein Condensation and Liquid Helium

The mathematical description of B.E. (Bose-Einstein) condensation is generalized so as to be applicable to a system of interacting particles. B.E. condensation is said to be pre...

Crystal Statistics. I. A Two-Dimensional Model with an Order-Disorder Transition

The partition function of a two-dimensional "ferromagnetic" with scalar "spins" (Ising model) is computed rigorously for the case of vanishing field. The eigenwert problem invol...
