Springer Statistical Physics for Cosmic Structures - Lecture Notes

Statistical Physics for Cosmic Structures explores the intersection of statistical physics and cosmology, drawing from decades of collaborative research. This Springer volume addresses galaxy clustering properties revealed by large redshift surveys, applying modern statistical physics concepts such as scale-invariance and fractality to understand cosmic structures. The book extends beyond observational cosmology to examine theoretical issues surrounding the statistical properties of standard cosmological models. Designed for researchers and advanced students in physics and cosmology, it provides a rigorous treatment of how statistical mechanics principles illuminate the large-scale structure of the universe, making it an essential reference for those studying the fundamental physics governing cosmic organisation.
