How much statistical mechanics is enough for a physicist?

[QUOTE="vanhees71, post: 6867340, member: 260864"] It depends a bit on what topic you are most interested in. Landau & Lifshitz is excellent, particularly Vol. 10 about kinetic theory. For the real-time formalism a very good intro is P. Danielewicz, Quantum Theory of Nonequilibrium Processes I, Ann. Phys. 152, 239 (1984), [URL]https://doi.org/10.1016/0003-4916(84)90092-7[/URL] P. Danielewicz, Quantum Theory of Nonequilibrium Processes II. Application to Nuclear Collisions, Ann. Phys. 152, 305 (1984), [URL]https://doi.org/10.1016/0003-4916(84)90093-9[/URL] For the relativistic case J. I. Kapusta and C. Gale, Finite-Temperature Field Theory; Principles and Applications, Cambridge University Press, 2 edn. (2006). N. P. Landsmann and C. G. van Weert, Real- and Imaginary-time Field Theory at Finite Temperature and Density, Physics Reports 145, 141 (1987), [URL]https://doi.org/10.1016/0370-1573(87)90121-9[/URL] [/QUOTE]
