Dynamics and Thermodynamics of Systems with Long Range Interactions: an Introduction

Statistical Mechanics 2008-11-26 v1

Abstract

We review theoretical results obtained recently in the framework of statistical mechanics to study systems with long range forces. This fundamental and methodological study leads us to consider the different domains of applications in a trans-disciplinary perspective (astrophysics, nuclear physics, plasmas physics, metallic clusters, hydrodynamics,...) with a special emphasis on Bose-Einstein condensates.
