Metastability A Potential-Theoretic Approach

“This monograph gives a complete and detailed account of the most recent techniques developed to obtain a precise mathematical description of the phenomenon of metastability. … The book is well organized and well written, it contains a large amount of fundamental ideas and techniques, and it is an important reference for any researcher interested in the study of long-time behavior of Markov processes and applications to statistical mechanics.” (Jean-Baptiste Bardet, Mathematical Reviews, April, 2017)

“No doubt, this is a fundamental book written by well established scientists whose contribution to this area is widely recognized. The book is addressed to readers with serious mathematical background and interests in metastability of stochastic dynamical systems. The books is also an excellent references source.” (Jordan M. Stoyanov, zbMATH 1339.60002, 2016)
