Many-body applications of the stochastic limit: a review (Q819310): Difference between revisions

In this survey there are reviewed some results that involve applications of the stochastic limit approach in quantum mechanics with infinite number of degrees of freedom. The author discuss the fractional quantum Hall effect, as well as relations between different models of matter interacting with radiation, such as the Hepp-Lieb and the Dicke-Haken-Lax Hamiltonian models, and the Alli-Sewell dissipative counterpart. In the last part of the present paper it is discussed the BCS model of low temperature superconductivity, originally proposed by Martin and Buffet.
