In: Physical Review, vol 112/5, 1 December 1958. Pp 1419-1429 in the issue of pp 1419-1827. Original wrappers. Near-fine copy. "By a generalization of the method used in a previous paper the distribution of energy levels of a dilute Bose system of hard spheres is found. These energy levels are then used to compute the statistical properties for the system. A phase transition is found, and the transition point is calculated to the lowest order of a, the diameter of the hard spheres. Furthermore, the thermodynamical functions of the system in both the gas phase and the degenerate phase are obtained." abstract from APS.

Lee. "Questions of Parity Conservation in Weak Interactions". The Physical Review, volume 104, October 1, No. 1, 1956.  Article occupies pp. 254-58 in the entire issue of 272pp.  Offered in the original wrappers, a fine copy.   Chen Ning Yang and Tsung-Dao Lee were awarded the 1957 Nobel Prize for their work "for their penetrating investigation of the so-called parity laws which has led to important discoveries regarding the elementary particles". The award was the climax of the most exciting year in postwar physics. Jeremy Bernstein, The New Yorker, 1962__+__ The importance of parity conservation, its fundamental nature, was discovered in 1927 by the physicist Eugene Wigner, Wigner proved that Laporte's rule was a consequence of right-left symmetry (or mirror image symmetry) of the electromagnetic force. Conservation of parity rested upon Maxwell's equations describing electromagnetism, but more important, the intuitive idea that nature should be left-right symmetric had been established on the quantum level. Thus, when in 1949, the weak force was postulated to explain disintegration of elementary particles, physicists could not conceive that parity conservation would not hold for reactions involving the weak force. It was a minor oversight however that there was no direct evidence for the extension of this law to the fourth force of nature. Seven years later physicists would come full circle to question their acceptance of parity conservation __+__ The new province of weak interactions had not been tested before Lee and Yang made the suggestion. Nevertheless, the physicists' assumption that nature will present a simple understanding is unflailing. Chen Ning Yang has stated, "In the study of nature, one believes in something simple underlying all". Madame Wu agrees, "One hopes that nature possesses an order that one may aspire to comprehend. When we arrive at an understanding, we shall marvel how neatly all the elementary particles fit into the great scheme." Violation of the law of conservation of parity, then, should lead one to search for an even more fundamental symmetry to the universe. --Symmetry Destroyed: The Failure of Parity, 1984 Krishna Myneni.

1st Edition. FIRST EDITION IN ORIGINAL WRAPS of the first full version (both parts one and two) of the Lee-Yang theorem, two "seminal papers that became classics in the field of statistical mechanics" (Hu, Yang-Lee-Fisher Zeros). Yang and Lee state "that if partition functions of certain models in statistical field theory with ferromagnetic interactions are considered as functions of an external field, then all zeros are purely imaginary (or on the unit circle after a change of variable)" (Wikipedia). The first paper "proposed a general theory of phase transitions by studying the distribution of the roots of the grand partition function, thenceforth known as 'Yang-Lee zeroes.' The second paper applied the general theory to the lattice gas and the Ising model and obtained the famous 'Lee-Yang circle theorem'" (Hu). Lee and Yang's papers were "the dream of physicist's life-time accomplishment" (Zhu, Lee-Yang theorem, MIT). They provided a "new way of looking at the nature of phase transitions and suggested that. partition functions as functions of external fields (in the case of Ising model, this would be magnetic fields), whose domains can be extended to the complex plane" (ibid). Tsung-Dao Lee and Chen-Ning Franklin Yang are Chinese born American physicists. They were jointly awarded the 1957 Nobel Prize in Physics for their theory that weak force interactions among elementary particles did not conserve parity (spatial symmetry).
