The XXVI International Colloquium on Group Theoretical Methods in
Physics was hosted by the Graduate Center of the City University of New
York, between June 26 and June 30 2006. Although other Colloquia have
been previously hosted in the United States, this was the first time the
Colloquium was held in New York….
The Handbook of Spintronics will be a 1500+pp, multi-volume large format reference work covering all aspects of spintronics. Published by Springer-SBM in collaboration with Canopus Academic Publishing, it will form part of the Springer Major Reference Work series. It will be published in both conventional (print) format and online through the Springer e-book programme.

Nonlinear differential or difference equations are encountered not only in mathematics, but also in many areas of physics (evolution equations, propagation of a signal in an optical fiber), chemistry (reaction-diffusion systems), and biology (competition of species).
This book introduces the reader to methods allowing one to build explicit solutions to these equations. A prerequisite task is [...]
This book is volume 1 of a two-volume set which describes two main classes of non-equilibrium phase-transitions: static and dynamics of transitions into an absorbing state. Volume 2 will describe dynamical scaling in far-from-equilibrium relaxation behaviour and ageing.
The book begins with an introductory chapter which recalls the main concepts of phase-transitions, set for the convenience of the [...]
This unique book gives a comprehensive account of new mathematical tools used to solve polygon problems.
In the 20th and 21st centuries, many problems in mathematics, theoretical physics and theoretical chemistry – and more recently in molecular biology and bio-informatics – can be expressed as counting problems, in which specified graphs, or shapes, are counted.
One very [...]
Path following in combination with boundary value problem solvers has emerged as a continuing and strong influence in the development of dynamical systems theory and its application. It is widely acknowledged that the software package AUTO – developed by Eusebius J. Doedel about thirty years ago and further expanded and developed ever since – plays [...]
This book provides a comprehensive, authoritative and timely review of the astrophysical approach to the investigation of gravity theories. Particular attention is paid to strong-field tests of general relativity and alternative theories of gravity, performed using collapsed objects (neutron stars, black holes and white dwarfs) in relativistic binaries as laboratories.
The book starts with an introduction [...]
