Overview

Encyclopedia of Mathematical Physics provides a complete resource for researchers, students and lecturers. It enables readers to access basic information on topics peripheral to their own areas, to provide a repository of the core information in the area that can be used to refresh the researcher's own memory banks, and to aid teachers in directing students to entries relevant to their coursework.
This work's information has been distilled, organized and presented as a complete reference tool to the user and a landmark to the body of knowledge that has accumulated in this domain. It also is a stimulus for new researchers working in mathematical physics or in areas using the methods originating from work in mathematical physics by delivering focused, high-quality background information.
