The Dirac equation is of fundamental importance for relativistic quantum mechanics and quantum electrodynamics. In relativistic quantum mechanics, the Dirac equation is referred to as one-particle wave equation of motion for electron in an external electromagnetic field. In quantum electrodynamics, exact solutions of this equation are needed to treat the interaction between the electron and the external field exactly. In this monograph, all propagators of a particle, i.e., the various Green's functions, are constructed in a certain way by using exact solutions of the Dirac equation.

Higher dimensional theories have attracted much attention because they make it possible to reduce much of physics in a concise, elegant fashion that unifies the two great theories of the 20th century: Quantum Theory and Relativity. This book provides an elementary description of quantum wave equations in higher dimensions at an advanced level so as to put all current mathematical and physical concepts and techniques at the reader’s disposal. A comprehensive description of quantum wave equations in higher dimensions and their broad range of applications in quantum mechanics is provided, which complements the traditional coverage found in the existing quantum mechanics textbooks and gives scientists a fresh outlook on quantum systems in all branches of physics. In Parts I and II the basic properties of the SO(n) group are reviewed and basic theories and techniques related to wave equations in higher dimensions are introduced. Parts III and IV cover important quantum systems in the framework of non-relativistic and relativistic quantum mechanics in terms of the theories presented in Part II. In particular, the Levinson theorem and the generalized hypervirial theorem in higher dimensions, the Schrödinger equation with position-dependent mass and the Kaluza-Klein theory in higher dimensions are investigated. In this context, the dependence of the energy levels on the dimension is shown. Finally, Part V contains conclusions, outlooks and an extensive bibliography.

by spin or (spin s = 1/2) field equations is emphasized because their solutions can be used for constructing solutions of other field equations insofar as fields with any spin may be constructed from spin s = 1/2 fields. A brief account of the main ideas of the book is presented in the Introduction. The book is largely based on the authors' works [55-109, 176-189, 13-16, 7*-14*,23*, 24*] carried out in the Institute of Mathematics, Academy of Sciences of the Ukraine. References to other sources is not intended to imply completeness. As a rule, only those works used directly are cited. The authors wish to express their gratitude to Academician Yu.A. Mitropoi sky, and to Academician of Academy of Sciences of the Ukraine O.S. Parasyuk, for basic support and stimulation over the course of many years; to our cowork ers in the Department of Applied Studies, LA. Egorchenko, R.Z. Zhdanov, A.G. Nikitin, LV. Revenko, V.L Lagno, and I.M. Tsifra for assistance with the manuscript.

The main focus of this volume is the question: is spacetime nothing more than a mathematical space (which describes the evolution in time of the ordinary three-dimensional world) or is it a mathematical model of a real four-dimensional world with time entirely given as the fourth dimension? The book contains fourteen invited papers which either directly address the main question of the nature of spacetime or explore issues related to it.

"Many theories have been advanced which avoid the difficulties of the Maxwell Electrodynamics; most of these have been quite successful classically, but present difficulties upon quantization. The theory that will be discussed here is a linear one which is closely related to those of Feynman (1) and Lehmann (2), and which is perhaps more easily adaptable to a quantum theory than to a classical one.

Materials science includes those parts of chemistry and physics that deal with the properties of materials. It encompasses four classes of materials, the study of each of which may be considered a separate field: metals; ceramics; polymers and composites. Materials science is often referred to as materials science and engineering because it has many applications. Industrial applications of materials science include processing techniques (casting, rolling, welding, ion implantation, crystal growth, thin-film deposition, sintering, glassblowing, etc.), analytical techniques (electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction, calorimetry, nuclear microscopy (HEFIB) etc.), materials design, and cost/benefit tradeoffs in industrial production of materials. This new volume gathers important research from around the globe in this dynamic field.
