Zusammenfassung:
This title deals with an important class of many-body systems: those where the interaction potential decays slowly for large inter-particle distance. In particular, systems where the decay is slower than the inverse inter-particle distance raised to the dimension of the embedding space. Gravitational and Coulomb interactions are the most prominent examples. However, it has become clear that long-range interactions are more common than previously thought. This has stimulated a growing interest in the study of long-range interacting systems, with a better understanding of the many peculiarities in their behaviour.
