Opis

The De Gruyter Studies in Mathematical Physics are devoted to the publication of monographs and high-level texts in mathematical physics. They cover topics and methods in fields of current interest, with an emphasis on didactical presentation. The series will enable readers to understand, apply and develop further, with sufficient rigor, mathematical methods to given problems in physics. For this reason, works with a few authors are preferred over edited volumes. The works in this series are aimed at advanced students and researchers in mathematical and theoretical physics. They can also serve as secondary reading for lectures and seminars at advanced levels.

The book employs oscillatory dynamical systems to represent the Universe mathematically via constructing classical and quantum theory of damped oscillators. It further discusses isotropic and homogeneous metrics in the Friedman-Robertson-Walker Universe and shows their equivalence to non-stationary oscillators. The wide class of exactly solvable damped oscillator models with variable parameters is associated with classical special functions of mathematical physics. Combining principles with observations in an easy to follow way, it inspires further thinking for mathematicians and physicists.ContentsPart I: Dissipative geometry and general relativity theoryPseudo-Riemannian geometry and general relativityDynamics of universe modelsAnisotropic and homogeneous universe modelsMetric waves in a nonstationary universe and dissipative oscillatorBosonic and fermionic models of a Friedman-Robertson-Walker universeTime dependent constants in an oscillatory universePart II: Variational principle for time dependent oscillations and dissipationsLagrangian and Hamilton descriptionsDamped oscillator: classical and quantum theorySturm-Liouville problem as a damped oscillator with time dependent damping and frequencyRiccati representation of time dependent damped oscillatorsQuantization of the harmonic oscillator with time dependent parameters
