Synopsis "quantum mathematical physics"

this book is a new edition of volumes 3 and 4 of walter thirrings 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. the author builds on an axiomatic basis and uses tools from functional analysis: bounded and unbounded operators on hilbert space, operator algebras etc. mathematics is shown to explain the axioms in depth and to provide the right tool for testing numerical data in experiments.
