Springer Verlag, Singapore Optical Waveguide Theory: Mathematical Models,
Book SynopsisThis book addresses the most advanced to-date mathematical approach and numerical methods in electromagnetic field theory and wave propagation. It presents the application of developed methods and techniques to the analysis of waves in various guiding structures —shielded and open metal-dielectric waveguides of arbitrary cross-section, planar and circular waveguides filled with inhomogeneous dielectrics, metamaterials, chiral media, anisotropic media and layered media with absorption. It also looks into spectral properties of wave propagation for the waveguide families being considered, and the relevant mathematical techniques such as spectral theory of non-self-adjoint operator-valued functions are described, including rigorous proofs of the existence of various types of waves. Further, numerical methods constructed on the basis of the presented mathematical approach and the results of numerical modeling for various structures are also described in depth. The book is beneficial to a broad spectrum of readers ranging from pure and applied mathematicians in electromagnetic field theory to researchers and engineers who are familiar with mathematics. Further, it is also useful as a supplementary text for upper-level undergraduate students interested in learning more advanced topics of mathematical methods in electromagnetics.Table of ContentsChapter 1.IntroductionThe purpose of this chapter is to provide a survey of our book by placing what we have to say in a historical context. Chapter 2. Some concepts and definitions of the set theory, function theory, and operator theoryThe purpose of this chapter is to present an overview of the mathematical apparatus used in this book, to give theorems and proofs used in the subsequent book chapters. The presentation focuses in particular on the necessary elements of the spectral theory of nonselfadjoint operator-valued functions. Chapter 3. Shielded regular waveguides of arbitrary cross-sectionThis chapter is devoted to the analysis of the wave propagation in shielded waveguides of arbitrary cross-section filled with inhomogeneous dielectrics, metamaterials, chiral media, anisotropic media, and media with absorption. Spectral properties of the problems of wave propagation for the considered waveguide family are investigated. Definitions of various types of waves are formulated, the existence and distribution of the wave spectra are studied. Chapter 4. Planar waveguidesThis chapter addresses waves in plane waveguides filled with inhomogeneous dielectrics, metamaterials, chiral media, anisotropic media, and media with absorption. Spectral properties of the problems of wave propagation for this family of waveguides are investigated in detail. Chapter 5. Waveguides of circular cross-sectionThis chapter is devoted to the analysis of wave propagation in circular waveguides filled with inhomogeneous dielectrics, metamaterials, chiral media, anisotropic media, and media with absorption. The notions, results and methods developed in Chapter 3 are applied and concretized for this family of waveguides. The existence of real and complex normal waves and analysis of the distribution of the wave spectra are backed by a variety of numerical results. Chapter 6. Open regular waveguides of arbitrary cross-sectionIn this chapter, open waveguides of arbitrary cross-section are considered; the material filling consists of inhomogeneous dielectrics, metamaterials, chiral and anisotropic media, and media with absorption. The problems on normal waves are formulated with the conditions at infinity that enable one to take into account all types of waves, including complex and leaky. Spectral properties of the problems of wave propagation in open waveguides are investigated using the specially developed extensions of the spectral theory and particularly the operator-pencil approach.

Springer Verlag, Singapore Non-Bloch Band Theory of Non-Hermitian Systems
Book SynopsisThis book constructs a non-Bloch band theory and studies physics described by non-Hermitian Hamiltonian in terms of the theory proposed here.In non-Hermitian crystals, the author introduces the non-Bloch band theory which produces an energy spectrum in the limit of a large system size. The energy spectrum is then calculated from a generalized Brillouin zone for a complex Bloch wave number. While a generalized Brillouin zone becomes a unit circle on a complex plane in Hermitian systems, it becomes a circle with cusps in non-Hermitian systems. Such unique features of the generalized Brillouin zone realize remarkable phenomena peculiar in non-Hermitian systems. Further the author reveals rich aspects of non-Hermitian physics in terms of the non-Bloch band theory. First, a topological invariant defined by a generalized Brillouin zone implies the appearance of topological edge states. Second, a topological semimetal phase with exceptional points appears, The topological semimetal phase is unique to non-Hermitian systems because it is caused by the deformation of the generalized Brillouin zone by changes of system parameters. Third, the author reveals a certain relationship between the non-Bloch waves and non-Hermitian topology.Table of ContentsIntroduction.- Hermitian Systems and Non-Hermitian Systems.- Non-Hermitian Open Chain and Periodic Chain.- Non-Bloch Band Theory of Non-Hermitian Systems and Bulk-Edge Correspondence.- Topological Semimetal Phase With Exceptional Points in One-Dimensional Non-Hermitian Systems.- Non-Bloch Band Theory in Bosonic Bogoliubov-de Gennes Systems.- Summary and Outlook.

Springer Verlag, Singapore Lie Theory and Its Applications in Physics:
Book SynopsisThis volume presents modern trends in the area of symmetries and their applications based on contributions to the Workshop "Lie Theory and Its Applications in Physics" held in Sofia, Bulgaria (on-line) in June 2021.Traditionally, Lie theory is a tool to build mathematical models for physical systems. Recently, the trend is towards geometrization of the mathematical description of physical systems and objects. A geometric approach to a system yields in general some notion of symmetry which is very helpful in understanding its structure. Geometrization and symmetries are meant in their widest sense, i.e., representation theory, algebraic geometry, number theory, infinite-dimensional Lie algebras and groups, superalgebras and supergroups, groups and quantum groups, noncommutative geometry, symmetries of linear and nonlinear partial differential operators, special functions, and others. Furthermore, the necessary tools from functional analysis are included. This is a big interdisciplinary and interrelated field.The topics covered in this Volume are the most modern trends in the field of the Workshop: Representation Theory, Symmetries in String Theories, Symmetries in Gravity Theories, Supergravity, Conformal Field Theory, Integrable Systems, Quantum Computing and Deep Learning, Entanglement, Applications to Quantum Theory, Exceptional quantum algebra for the standard model of particle physics, Gauge Theories and Applications, Structures on Lie Groups and Lie Algebras.This book is suitable for a broad audience of mathematicians, mathematical physicists, and theoretical physicists, including researchers and graduate students interested in Lie Theory.Table of ContentsPlenary Talks: T.

Springer Verlag, Singapore Nonlinear Waves: From Dissipative Solitons to
Book SynopsisThis book highlights the methods to engineer dissipative and magnetic nonlinear waves propagating in nonlinear systems. In the first part of the book, the authors present methodologically mathematical models of nonlinear waves propagating in one- and two-dimensional nonlinear transmission networks without/with dissipative elements. Based on these models, the authors investigate the generation and the transmission of nonlinear modulated waves, in general, and solitary waves, in particular, in networks under consideration. In the second part of the book, the authors develop basic theoretical results for the dynamics matter-wave and magnetic-wave solitons of nonlinear systems and of Bose–Einstein condensates trapped in external potentials, combined with the time-modulated nonlinearity. The models treated here are based on one-, two-, and three-component non-autonomous Gross–Pitaevskii equations. Based on the Heisenberg model of spin–spin interactions, the authors also investigate the dynamics of magnetization in ferromagnet with or without spin-transfer torque. This research book is suitable for physicists, mathematicians, engineers, and graduate students in physics, mathematics, and network and information engineering.Table of Contents

Springer Verlag, Singapore Einstein Constraints and Ricci Flow: A
Book SynopsisThis book contains a self-consistent treatment of a geometric averaging technique, induced by the Ricci flow, that allows comparing a given (generalized) Einstein initial data set with another distinct Einstein initial data set, both supported on a given closed n-dimensional manifold. This is a case study where two vibrant areas of research in geometric analysis, Ricci flow and Einstein constraints theory, interact in a quite remarkable way. The interaction is of great relevance for applications in relativistic cosmology, allowing a mathematically rigorous approach to the initial data set averaging problem, at least when data sets are given on a closed space-like hypersurface. The book does not assume an a priori knowledge of Ricci flow theory, and considerable space is left for introducing the necessary techniques. These introductory parts gently evolve to a detailed discussion of the more advanced results concerning a Fourier-mode expansion and a sophisticated heat kernel representation of the Ricci flow, both of which are of independent interest in Ricci flow theory. This work is intended for advanced students in mathematical physics and researchers alike.

Oxford University Press From Random Walks to Random Matrices
Book SynopsisTheoretical physics is a cornerstone of modern physics and provides a foundation for all modern quantitative science. It aims to describe all natural phenomena using mathematical theories and models, and in consequence develops our understanding of the fundamental nature of the universe. This books offers an overview of major areas covering the recent developments in modern theoretical physics. Each chapter introduces a new key topic and develops the discussion in a self-contained manner. At the same time the selected topics have common themes running throughout the book, which connect the independent discussions. The main themes are renormalization group, fixed points, universality, and continuum limit, which open and conclude the work.The development of modern theoretical physics has required important concepts and novel mathematical tools, examples discussed in the book include path and field integrals, the notion of effective quantum or statistical field theories, gauge theories, and the mathematical structure at the basis of the interactions in fundamental particle physics, including quantization problems and anomalies, stochastic dynamical equations, and summation of perturbative series.Table of Contents1: The random walk: Universality and continuum limit 2: Functional integration: From path to field integrals 3: The essential role of functional integrals in modern physics 4: From infinites in QED to the general Renormalization Group 5: Renormalization Group: From a general concept to numbers 6: Critical phenomena: The field theory approach 7: Stability of RG fixed points and decay of correlations 8: Quantum field theory: An effective theory 9: The non-perturbative renormalization group 10: O(N) vector model in the ordered phase: Goldstone modes 11: Gauge invariance and gaude fixing 12: The discovery of the Higgs boson: A major achievement and a problem 13: Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD): A non-Abelian gauge theory 14: Non-Abelian gauge theories: Renormalization and Zinn-Justin equation 15: Quantum field theory: Asymptotic safety 16: Symmetries: From classical to quantum field theories 17: Quantum anomalies: A few physics applications 18: Periodic semi-classical vacuum, instantons and anomalies 19: Field theory in a finite geometry: Finite size scaling 20: The weakly interacting Bose gas at the critical temperature 21: Quantum field theory at finite temperature 22: From random walk to critical dynamics 23: Field theory: Peturbative expansion and summation methods 24: Hyper-asymptotic expansions and instantons 25: Renormalization group approach to matric models

This is an important feature since the dynamics for the two cases and methods employed for their analyses may differ significantly. Also, while most other introductory texts concentrate almost exclusively upon discrete mappings, here at least three of the thirteen chapters are devoted to differential equations, including the Poincare-Bendixson theorem. Add to this a discussion of $\omega$-limit sets, including periodic and strange attractors, as well as a chapter on fractals, and the result is one of the most comprehensive texts on the topic that has yet appeared."

Penguin Putnam Inc The Universe in a Box
Book SynopsisScientists are using simulations to recreate the universe, revealing the hidden nature of reality.Cosmology is a tricky science—no one can make their own stars, planets, or galaxies to test its theories. But over the last few decades a new kind of physics has emerged to fill the gap between theory and experimentation. Harnessing the power of modern supercomputers, cosmologists have built simulations that offer profound insights into the deep history of our universe, allowing centuries-old ideas to be tested for the first time. Today, physicists are translating their ideas and equations into code, finding that there is just as much to be learned from computers as experiments in laboratories. In The Universe in a Box, cosmologist Andrew Pontzen explains how physicists model the universe’s most exotic phenomena, from black holes and colliding galaxies to dark matter and quantum entanglement, enabling them to study the

De Gruyter Current Algebras on Riemann Surfaces: New Results
Book SynopsisThis monograph is an introduction into a new and fast developing field on the crossroads of infinite-dimensional Lie algebra theory and contemporary mathematical physics. It contains a self-consistent presentation of the theory of Krichever-Novikov algebras, Lax operator algebras, their interaction, representation theory, relations to moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces and holomorphic vector bundles on them, to Lax integrable systems, and conformal field theory. For beginners, the book provides a short way to join in the investigations in these fields. For experts, it sums up the recent advances in the theory of almost graded infinite-dimensional Lie algebras and their applications. The book may serve as a base for semester lecture courses on finite-dimensional integrable systems, conformal field theory, almost graded Lie algebras. Majority of results are presented for the first time in the form of monograph.
