Stochastic Analysis and Mathematical Physics (Samp/Anestoc 2002): Proceedings of the Mathematical Legacy of R P Feynman, Lisbon, Portugal 3 - 7 June 2002; Proceedings of the Open Systems and Quantum Statistical Mechanics, Santiago, Chile 7 - 11 January 20

by Rolando Rebolledo (Editor), Jorge Rezende (Editor), Jean-Claude Zambrini (Editor)

The book collects a series of papers centered on two main streams: Feynman path integral approach to Quantum Mechanics and statistical mechanics of quantum open systems. Key authors discuss the state-of-the-art within their fields of expertise. In addition, the volume includes a number of contributed papers with new results, which have been thoroughly refereed. The contributions in this volume highlight emergent research in the area of stochastic analysis and mathematical physics, focusing, in particular on Feynman functional integral approach and, on the other hand, in quantum probability. The book is addressed to an audience of mathematical physicists, as well as specialists in probability theory, stochastic analysis and operator algebras.
