Description and Table of Contents

Description

This collection of papers offers a view of our present knowledge of matter. Partially basing his work on a variational formulation of quantum mechanics, E.H.Lieb links the complex question of the stability of matter with deeper problems of functional analysis. General results and more specialized insights into quantum systems are combined in papers on the structure of atoms and molecules, on the thermodynamics limit, and on stellar structure. The book is suitable as an accompanying text for a graduate course in quantum mechanics. This monograph on mathematical physics, quantum mechanics, atoms and molecules is intended for students and researchers.
