Pauli And The Spin-statistics Theorem

Description: Pauli And The Spin-statistics TheoremAuthor(s): Ian Duck, E C George Sudarshan Format: Hardback Publisher: World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd, Singapore Imprint: World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd ISBN-13: 9789810231149, 978-9810231149 Synopsis This book makes broadly accessible an understandable proof of the infamous spin-statistics theorem. This widely known but little-understood theorem is intended to explain the fact that electrons obey the Pauli exclusion principle. This fact, in turn, explains the periodic table of the elements and their chemical properties. Therefore, this one simply stated fact is responsible for many of the principal features of our universe, from chemistry to solid state physics to nuclear physics to the life cycle of [url] spite of its fundamental importance, it is only a slight exaggeration to say that ?everyone knows the spin-statistics theorem, but no one understands it?. This book simplifies and clarifies the formal statements of the theorem, and also corrects the invariably flawed intuitive explanations which are frequently put [url] book will be of interest to many practising physicists in all fields who have long been frustrated by the impenetrable discussions on the subject which have been available until now. It will also be accessible to students at an advanced undergraduate level as an introduction to modern physics based directly on the classical writings of the founders, including Pauli, Dirac, Heisenberg, Einstein and many others.
