Selected Papers of Walter E. Thirring with Commentaries
This book contains Thirring's scientific contributions to mathematical physics, statistical physics, general relativity, quantum field theory and elementary particle theory from 1950 onward. The order of the papers within the various sections is chronological and reflects the development of the fields during the second half of this century. In some cases, Thirring returned to problems decades later when the tools for their solution had ripened. Each section contains introductory comments by Thirring, outlining his motivation for the work at that time. A complete proof of the divergence of the renormalized perturbation theory in a relativistic quantum field theory and a proof of the divergence of a similar theory A proof of the stability of matter An analysis of a dynamical system with negative specific heat A generalization of the dynamical entropy to quantum dynamical systems
