Riassunto

This book has been long awaited in the "interacting particle systems" community. Begun by Claude Kipnis before his untimely death, it was completed by Claudio Landim, his most brilliant student and collaborator. It presents the techniques used in the proof of the hydrodynamic behavior of interacting particle systems.

Recensione

"Das Buch ist nach Meinung des Rezensenten eine gelungene Einführung in ein interessantes Gebiet der modernen Stochastik und mathematischen Physik und stellt einen fest umrissenen Gegenstand umfassend dar, vor allem den analytisch-methodischen Aspekt. ... Die Beweise sind übersichtlich und gut gegliedert, was das Nachvollziehen der Argumente sehr erleichtert; die didaktische Leistung der Autoren in diesem Punkt ist beeindruckend. Ein sorgfältig zusammengestelltes Literaturverzeichnis von etwa 400 Titeln schließt das Buch ab. Ingesamt ein sehr gut geschriebener und nützlicher Band."
