Stochastic mechanics and stochastic processes [electronic resource] : proceedings of a conference, held in Swansea, U.K., Aug. 4-8, 1986 / A. Truman, I.M. Davies, eds.

The main theme of the meeting was to illustrate the use of stochastic processes in the study of topological problems in quantum physics and statistical mechanics. Much discussion of current problems was generated and there was a considerable amount of interaction between mathematicians and physicist...
