The main purpose of this book is to provide a brief, self-contained introduction to some mathematical ideas and methods from differential geometry and topology, and to show a few applications in condensed matter.

This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it. This work is in the "public domain in the United States of America, and possibly other nations.

The theme of this volume, the third in a successful series, is condensed matter spectroscopy.

In 1989, a symposium was held in Oxford to mark his sixtieth birthday. This book is a collection of thirty-eight articles by his-colleagues and ex-students, based on papers presented at the symposium.

Now in paperback, this book provides an overview of the physics of condensed matter systems.

Issues in Nuclear, High Energy, Plasma, Particle, and Condensed Matter Physics: 2011 Edition is a ScholarlyEditions™ eBook that delivers timely, authoritative, and comprehensive information about Nuclear, High Energy, Plasma, Particle, ...

This primer is aimed at elevating graduate students of condensed matter theory to a level where they can engage in independent research.

The goal of this text is to introduce, in a very elementary way, the concept of anti-de Sitter/Conformal Field Theory (AdS/CFT) correspondence to condensed matter physicists.

The text and problem sets have proved a useful springboard for the application of the basic material presented here to topics in semiconductor physics, and the physics of carbon-based nanostructures.
