Emergence of Temperature in Examples and Related Nuisances in Field Theory (SpringerBriefs in Physics) - Softcover

Tamás Sándor Biró born at March 22, 1956 in Budapest I was half a year old at the time of the Hungarian Revolution. It prevented my parents from trying to make their living in the West, unlike many other fellow Hungarians did. I studied physics at Eotvos University from 1975 til 1980, and then received a diploma (equivalent to MSc) in physics and biophysics. I achieved my PhD degree at the same university (dr.rer.nat.) in 1982 based upon a research in theoretical heavy ion physics, about strange quark production in quark-gluon plasma, supervised and guided by Prof. Zimanyi. I continued my carreier as researcher at the Central Research Institute for Physics, Budapest, at the Niels Bohr Institute, Copenhagen, at the GSI, Darmstadt until 1984. Then I took an opportunity in 1985 to join to the Institute f ur Theoretische Physik at the University of Giessen, Germany, where I stayed until my return to Budapest in 1994. Habilitation in theoretical physics in 1991, and an academic DSc degree in Hungary in 1994 signed some academic qualication of my eorts. I suggested the color rope model for describing the early phase of ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions in 1983, took part in studies of chaotic dynamics in strongly interacting non-abelian gauge elds (1991-1999), then developed more and more a feeble for statistical physics of complex systems. Since 2005 I was active on studying and improving non-extensive thermodynamics.
