Studies in Mathematical Physics Essays in Honor of Valentine Bargmann [Hardcover]

Some of the articles in this collection give up-to-date accounts of areas in mathematical physics to which Valentine Bargmann made pioneering contributions. The others treat a selection of the most interesting current topics in the field. The contributions include both reviews and original results.
