Publisher Synopsis
From the reviews of the second edition: "This second edition of Strocchi's Symmetry breaking presents a complete, generalized and highly rigorous discussion of the subject, based on a formal analysis of conditions necessary for the mechanism of spontaneous symmetry breaking to occur in classical systems, as well as in quantum systems. ... this book is specifically recommended for mathematical physicists interested in a deeper and rigorous understanding of the subject, and it should be mandatory for researchers studying the mechanism of spontaneous symmetry breaking." (Serena Hajjawi, Mathematical Reviews, 2008) "The monograph under review is devoted to the mathematical understanding of spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) ... . The monograph gives a strong mathematical base to the SSB phenomena in applied mathematics and physics. Therefore it will be very useful for mathematicians and physicists, students of relevant specialties." (Boris V. Loginov, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1145, 2008) Read more...
