This book constitutes the proceedings of a meeting which brought together contributors from the four European networks in the area of the theory of fundamental interactions. While each of these networks overlaps strongly with all the others, this coming together gives the proceedings a greater than usual breadth of subjects nevertheless. The wide range of topics in quantum field theory covered includes Hamiltonian and semiclassical methods, critical phenomena and various aspects of classical and quantum gravity including also a study in the detection of gravitational radiation. This, together with the leading item on the recent history of the subject, gives an overall perspective of the many new research directions in this area.

The Physical World offers a grand vision of the essential unity of physics that will enable the reader to see the world through the eyes of a physicist and understand their thinking. The text follows Einstein's dictum that 'explanations should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler', to give an honest account of how modern physicists understand their subject, including the shortcomings of current theory. The result is an up-to-date and engaging portrait of physics that contains concise derivations of the important results in a style where every step in a derivation is clearly explained, so that anyone with the appropriate mathematical skills will find the text easy to digest. It is over half a century since The Feynman Lectures in Physics were published. A new authoritative account of fundamental physics covering all branches of the subject is now well overdue. The Physical World has been written to satisfy this need. The book concentrates on the conceptual principles of each branch of physics and shows how they fit together to form a coherent whole. Emphasis is placed on the use of variational principles in physics, and in particular the principle of least action, an approach that lies at the heart of modern theoretical physics, but has been neglected in most introductory accounts of the subject.

This book presents calculation methods that are used in both mathematical and theoretical physics. These methods will allow readers to work with selected special functions and more generally with differential equations, which are the most frequently used in quantum mechanics, theory of relativity and quantum field theory. The authors explain various approximation methods used to solve differential equations and to estimate integrals. They also address the basics of the relations between differential equations, special functions and representation theory of some of the simplest algebras on the one hand, and fundamental physics on the other. Based on a seminar for graduate physics students, the book offers a compact and quick way to learn about special functions. To gain the most from it, readers should be familiar with the basics of calculus, linear algebra, and complex analysis, as well as the basic methods used to solve differential equations and calculate integrals.

Constructive Approach to Fundamental Science: Selective Writings presents the idea of a holographic construction of the Universe. This work elaborates on a cellular automaton mechanism that produces a spectrum of stable elementary particles solutions and an informational infrastructure of the physical world, a mechanism providing a working foundation for the physics trend that regards information as a basic constituent of the physical Universe. In contrast, the so-called "principle-theories" rely on "universally experienced facts," thus purportedly acquiring the advantages of "logical perfection and security of the foundations." But what if a "universally experienced fact" turns out to be wrong? Nowadays, numerous experiments consistently show an incongruous and unintelligible fact of the Universe non-locality: distant objects can instantaneously influence each other through "quantum entanglement." This implies that the existing picture of the Universe is just an approximation-in essence, it is incorrect. The presented writings provide the only known explanation of the non-locality of the Universe: governed by a holographic mechanism with layered processing, objects in a given layer can be coordinated irrespective of their distance. The works collected here discuss various applications of this surmised mechanism to fundamental physics and biology. Professor Simon Y. Berkovich received an MS in Applied Physics from Moscow Physico-Technological Institute and a PhD in Computer Science from the USSR Academy of Sciences. He holds 30 patents and has authored five books and several hundred professional publications in physics, electronics, computer science, and biological cybernetics. In 2002, Dr. Berkovich was elected to the European Academy of Sciences "for an outstanding contribution to computer science and the development of fundamental computational algorithms." Hanan M. Al Shargi earned her MS and PhD degrees in computer science at George Washington University. Her research included data mining, web searching, and investigation of informational contents of biological sequences; her doctoral dissertation analyzed the epigenetic mechanism. Dr. Al Shargi is a member of the Association for Computing Machinery and the American Physical Society, and has won numerous academic and achievement awards.

The mathematical formalism of quantum theory in terms of vectors and operators in infinite-dimensional complex vector spaces is very abstract. The definitions of many mathematical quantities used do not seem to have an intuitive meaning, which makes it difficult to appreciate the mathematical formalism and understand quantum mechanics. This book provides intuition and motivation to the mathematics of quantum theory, introducing the mathematics in its simplest and familiar form, for instance, with three-dimensional vectors and operators, which can be readily understood. Feeling confident about and comfortable with the mathematics used helps readers appreciate and understand the concepts and formalism of quantum mechanics. This book is divided into four parts. Part I is a brief review of the general properties of classical and quantum systems. A general discussion of probability theory is also included which aims to help in understanding the probability theories relevant to quantum mechanics. Part II is a detailed study of the mathematics for quantum mechanics. Part III presents quantum mechanics in a series of postulates. Six groups of postulates are presented to describe orthodox quantum systems. Each statement of a postulate is supplemented with a detailed discussion. To make them easier to understand, the postulates for discrete observables are presented before those for continuous observables. Part IV presents several illustrative applications, which include harmonic and isotropic oscillators, charged particle in external magnetic fields and the Aharonov–Bohm effect. For easy reference, definitions, theorems, examples, comments, properties and results are labelled with section numbers. Various symbols and notations are adopted to distinguish different quantities explicitly and to avoid misrepresentation. Self-contained both mathematically and physically, the book is accessible to a wide readership, including astrophysicists, mathematicians and philosophers of science who are interested in the foundations of quantum mechanics.

In a knowledge-based society, research into fundamental physics plays a vital role not only in the enhancement of human knowledge but also in the development of new technology that affects everyday life.The international symposium series Frontiers of Fundamental Physics (FFP) regularly brings together eminent scholars and researchers working in various areas in physics to exchange expertise, ideas, results, and new research perspectives. The twelfth such symposium, FFP12, took place at the University of Udine, Italy, and covered diverse fields of research: astrophysics, high energy physics and particle physics, theoretical physics, gravitation and cosmology, condensed matter physics, statistical physics, computational physics, and mathematical physics. Importantly, it also devoted a great deal of attention to physics education research, teacher training in modern physics, and popularization of physics. The high scientific level of FFP12 was guaranteed by the careful selection made by scientific coordinators from among 250 submissions from 28 countries across the world. During the three days of the conference, nine general talks were delivered in plenary sessions, 29 invited talks were given in specific topic areas, and 59 oral presentations were made. This book presents a selection of the best contributions at FFP12 with the aim of acquainting readers with the most important recent advances in fundamental physics and in physics education and teacher development.

Today, quantum field theory (QFT)—the mathematical and conceptual framework for contemporary elementary particle physics—is the best starting point for analysing the fundamental building blocks of the material world. QFT if taken seriously in its metaphysical implications yields a picture of the world that is at variance with central classical conceptions. The core of Kuhlmann’s investigation consists in the analysis of various ontological interpretations of QFT, e.g. substance ontologies as well as a process-ontological approach. Eventually, Kuhlmann proposes a dispositional trope ontology, according to which particularized properties and not things are the most basic entities, in terms of which all other entities are to be analysed, e.g as bundles of properties. This book was chosen for the 2009 ontos-Award for research on analytical ontology and metaphysics by the German Society for Analytical Philosophy.
