C*-algebras and mathematical foundations of quantum statistical mechanicsan introduction /[electronic resource] :by Jean-Bernard Bru, Walter Alberto de Siqueira Pedra. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2023. - xxvii, 477 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm. - Latin American mathematics series - UFSCar subseries,2524-6763. - Latin American mathematics series - UFSCar subseries..

Preface -- Ordered vector spaces and positivity -- The space of bounded operators on a Hilbert space as ordered vector space -- Thermodynamic equilibrium of finite quantum systems -- Elements of C*-algebra -- Thermodynamic equilibrium in infinite volume -- Equilibrium states of mean-field models and Bogolioubov's approximation method -- Appendix -- References -- Index.

This textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to the mathematical foundations of quantum statistical physics. It presents a conceptually profound yet technically accessible path to the C*-algebraic approach to quantum statistical mechanics, demonstrating how key aspects of thermodynamic equilibrium can be derived as simple corollaries of classical results in convex analysis. Using C*-algebras as examples of ordered vector spaces, this book makes various aspects of C*-algebras and their applications to the mathematical foundations of quantum theory much clearer from both mathematical and physical perspectives. It begins with the simple case of Gibbs states on matrix algebras and gradually progresses to a more general setting that considers the thermodynamic equilibrium of infinitely extended quantum systems. The book also illustrates how first-order phase transitions and spontaneous symmetry breaking can occur, in contrast to the finite-dimensional situation. One of the unique features of this book is its thorough and clear treatment of the theory of equilibrium states of quantum mean-field models. This work is self-contained and requires only a modest background in analysis, topology, and functional analysis from the reader. It is suitable for both mathematicians and physicists with a specific interest in quantum statistical physics.
