This is the first volume in a series of books on the general theme of Supersymmetric Mechanics; the series is based on lectures and discussions held in 2005 and 2006 at the INFN-Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati. This volume supplies a pedagogical introduction, at the non-expert level, to the attractor mechanism in space-time singularities. After a qualitative overview, explicit examples realizing the attractor mechanism are treated at length.

Here is a systematic approach to such fundamental questions as: What mathematical structures does Einstein-Weyl causality impose on a point-set that has no other previous structure defined on it? The author proposes an axiomatization of the physics inspired notion of Einstein-Weyl causality and investigating the consequences in terms of possible topological spaces. One significant result is that the notion of causality can effectively be extended to discontinuum.

This book serves as a concise introduction to the state-of-the-art of spin glass theory. The collection of review papers are written by leading experts in the field and cover the topic from a wide variety of angles. The book will be useful to both graduate students and young researchers, as well as to anyone curious to know what is going on in this exciting area of mathematical physics.

"To my knowledge this] is the first book to address specifically the use of high-order discretizations in the time domain to solve wave equations. ...] I recommend the book for its clear and cogent coverage of the material selected by its author." --Physics Today, March 2003

This book is a new edition of Volumes 3 and 4 of Walter Thirring's famous textbook on mathematical physics. The first part is devoted to quantum mechanics and especially to its applications to scattering theory, atoms and molecules. The second part deals with quantum statistical mechanics examining fundamental concepts like entropy, ergodicity and thermodynamic functions.

Comment poser et resoudre les equations de Maxwell ? On presente ici les outils necessaires: formulations faibles, elements d'aretes, methodes integrales, en insistant sur la modelisation, c'est-a-dire la mise en equations de situations concretes: il y a en effet, pour chaque categorie de problemes en electrotechnique un modele mathematique approprie, qu'il faut savoir deriver des equations fondamentales. Depuis sa redaction, ce cours a ete enseigne dans plusieurs formations doctorales europeennes, destinees a des ingenieurs en electrotechnique et a des etudiants en analyse numerique....
