A prominent example is the Born-Oppenheimer approximation in molecular dynamics. This book focuses on a recent approach to adiabatic perturbation theory, which emphasizes the role of effective equations of motion and the separation of the adiabatic limit from the semiclassical limit. A detailed introduction gives an overview of the subject and makes the later chapters accessible also to readers less familiar with the material. Although the general mathematical theory based on pseudodifferential calculus is presented in detail, there is an emphasis on concrete and relevant examples from physics. Applications range from molecular dynamics to the dynamics of electrons in a crystal and from the quantum mechanics of partially confined systems to Dirac particles and nonrelativistic QED.Lecture Notes in Mathematics,0075-8434 ;1821Mathematical physicsOperator theoryDifferential equations, PartialTheoretical, Mathematical and Computational Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19005Operator Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M12139Partial Differential Equationshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M12155Mathematical physics.Operator theory.Differential equations, Partial.Theoretical, Mathematical and Computational Physics.Operator Theory.Partial Differential Equations.530.12510 s81Q15msc47G30mscTeufel Stefanauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut149973MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910144601403321Adiabatic perturbation theory in quantum dynamics168813UNINA
