Operator Algebras and Quantum Statistical Mechanics

by Ola Bratteli and Derek W Robinson

Published 10 October 1979

For almost two decades, this has been the classical textbook on applications of operator algebra theory to quantum statistical physics. Major changes in the new edition relate to Bose-Einstein condensation, the dynamics of the X-Y model and questions on phase transitions.
