Ideas and Methods in Quantum and Statistical Physics: Volume 2: In Memory of Raphael Høegh-Krohn

These volumes contain a collection of essays by many of the closest co-workers of Raphael Høegh-Krohn, 1938–88, one of the outstanding mathematical physicists of our age. The contributions vary in style, purpose and content - some are surveys where leading experts sum up and clarify a subject area, others are new and adventurous expeditions into unknown territory. The topics cover most aspects of modern mathematical physics with special emphasis on methods from operator theory and stochastic analysis. Many of the papers are based on talks given at a symposium in honour of Høegh-Krohn at the University of Oslo; however the final volumes are far more than proceedings and great care has been taken to attract contributions from the leading researchers.
