Magnetohydrodynamics of Laboratory and Astrophysical Plasmas

Cambridge University Press, 2019

With ninety per cent of visible matter in the universe existing in the plasma state, an understanding of magnetohydrodynamics is essential for anyone looking to understand solar and astrophysical processes, from stars to accretion discs and galaxies; as well as laboratory applications focused on harnessing controlled fusion energy. This...

Solving Fermi's Paradox (Cambridge Astrobiology)

Cambridge University Press, 2019

The search for extra-terrestrial intelligence (SETI) has for sixty years attempted to solve Fermi's paradox: if intelligent life is relatively common in the universe, where is everybody? Examining SETI through this lens, this volume summarises current thinking on the prevalence of intelligent life in the universe, and discusses sixty-six...

Higher Categories and Homotopical Algebra (Cambridge Studies in Advanced Mathematics)

Cambridge University Press, 2019

This book provides an introduction to modern homotopy theory through the lens of higher categories after Joyal and Lurie, giving access to methods used at the forefront of research in algebraic topology and algebraic geometry in the twenty-first century. The text starts from scratch - revisiting results from classical homotopy theory such as...

Hearing Voices: The Histories, Causes and Meanings of Auditory Verbal Hallucinations

Cambridge University Press, 2012

The meanings and causes of hearing voices that others cannot hear (auditory verbal hallucinations, in psychiatric parlance) have been debated for thousands of years. Voice-hearing has been both revered and condemned, understood as a symptom of disease as well as a source of otherworldly communication. Those hearing voices have been viewed as...

Applied Stochastic Differential Equations (Institute of Mathematical Statistics Textbooks)

Cambridge University Press, 2019

Stochastic differential equations are differential equations whose solutions are stochastic processes. They exhibit appealing mathematical properties that are useful in modeling uncertainties and noisy phenomena in many disciplines. This book is motivated by applications of stochastic differential equations in target tracking and medical...

Non-Inertial Frames and Dirac Observables in Relativity (Cambridge Monographs on Mathematical Physics)

Cambridge University Press, 2019

Interpreting general relativity relies on a proper description of non-inertial frames and Dirac observables. This book describes global non-inertial frames in special and general relativity. The first part covers special relativity and Minkowski space time, before covering general relativity, globally hyperbolic Einstein space-time, and the...

Proof Complexity (Encyclopedia of Mathematics and its Applications)

Cambridge University Press, 2019

Proof complexity is a rich subject drawing on methods from logic, combinatorics, algebra and computer science. This self-contained book presents the basic concepts, classical results, current state of the art and possible future directions in the field. It stresses a view of proof complexity as a whole entity rather than a collection of various...

Liberalism as Utopia: The Rise and Fall of Legal Rule in Post-Colonial Mexico, 1820-1900 (Cambridge Latin American Studies)

Cambridge University Press, 2017

The book explores the creation of the post-colonial Mexican state by comparing the legal culture of mestizo towns, indigenous towns and agricultural estates (haciendas). More broadly, it is for readers interested in the social origins of liberalism and authoritarianism in the nineteenth-century world....

Classical Field Theory

Cambridge University Press, 2019

Classical field theory predicts how physical fields interact with matter, and is a logical precursor to quantum field theory. This introduction focuses purely on modern classical field theory, helping graduates and researchers build an understanding of classical field theory methods before embarking on future studies in quantum field theory. It...

Seismic Wave Theory

Cambridge University Press, 2019

Perfect for senior undergraduates and first-year graduate students in geophysics, physics, mathematics, geology and engineering, this book is devoted exclusively to seismic wave theory. The result is an invaluable teaching tool, with its detailed derivations of formulas, clear explanations of topics, exercises along with selected answers, and an...

Mass Dimension One Fermions (Cambridge Monographs on Mathematical Physics)

Cambridge University Press, 2019

In 2005, Dharam Ahluwalia and Daniel Grumiller reported an unexpected theoretical discovery of mass dimension one fermions. These are an entirely new class of spin one half particles, and because of their mass dimensionality mismatch with the standard model fermions they are a first-principle dark matter candidate. Written by one of the...

Relativistic Fluid Dynamics In and Out of Equilibrium: And Applications to Relativistic Nuclear Collisions (Cambridge Monographs on Mathematical Physics)

Cambridge University Press, 2019

The past decade has seen unprecedented developments in the understanding of relativistic fluid dynamics in and out of equilibrium, with connections to astrophysics, cosmology, string theory, quantum information, nuclear physics and condensed matter physics. Romatschke and Romatschke offer a powerful new framework for fluid dynamics, exploring...
