Book Description
This volume links field theory methods and concepts from particle physics with those in critical phenomena and statistical mechanics, the development starting from the latter point of view. Rigor and lengthy proofs are trimmed by using the phenomenological framework of graphs, power counting, etc., and field theoretic methods with emphasis on renormalization group techniques. Non-perturbative methods and numerical simulations are introduced in this new edition. Abundant references to research literature complement this matter-of-fact approach. The book introduces quantum field theory to those already grounded in the concepts of statistical mechanics and advanced quantum theory, with sufficient exercises in each chapter for use as a textbook in a one-semester graduate course.The following new chapters are included:I. Real Space MethodsII. Finite Size ScalingIII. Monte Carlo Methods. Numerical Field Theory

Introduction to Renormalization Group Methods in Physics
Author: Richard J. Creswick
Publisher: Wiley-Interscience
ISBN:
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 432
Book Description
The renormalization group (RG) method has found applications in many areas of physics. The authors present simple RG treatments of such diverse problems as random walks, percolation, chaos and critical phenomena. Detailed introductory materials are presented in each area which makes it reasonably self–contained. The concepts of self–similarity and scale invariance are a common thread tying these problems together. Emphasis is placed on intuitive real–space RG calculations rather than formalism. The momentum–space RG is introduced and the 1/n and epsis expansions are discussed. A brief explanation of the field–theoretic approach to the RG serves as an introduction to more advanced techniques.

Introduction To The Theory Of Critical Phenomena: Mean Field, Fluctuations And Renormalization (2nd Edition)
Author: Dimo I Uzunov
Publisher: World Scientific Publishing Company
ISBN: 9813100907
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 701
Book Description
This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the theory of phase transitions and critical phenomena. The content covers a period of more than 100 years of theoretical research of condensed matter phases and phase transitions providing a clear interrelationship with experimental problems. It starts from certain basic University knowledge of thermodynamics, statistical physics and quantum mechanics. The text is illustrated with classic examples of phase transitions. Various types of phase transition and (multi)critical points are introduced and explained. The classic aspects of the theory are naturally related with the modern developments. This interrelationship and the field-theoretical renormalization group method are presented in details. The main applications of the renormalization group methods are presented. Special attention is paid to the description of quantum phase transitions. This edition contains a more detailed presentation of the renormalization group method and its applications to particular systems.

The Theory of Critical Phenomena
Author: J. J. Binney
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0191660566
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 477
Book Description
The successful calculation of critical exponents for continuous phase transitions is one of the main achievements of theoretical physics over the last quarter-century. This was achieved through the use of scaling and field-theoretic techniques which have since become standard equipment in many areas of physics, especially quantum field theory. This book provides a thorough introduction to these techniques. Continuous phase transitions are introduced, then the necessary statistical mechanics is summarized, followed by standard models, some exact solutions and techniques for numerical simulations. The real-space renormalization group and mean-field theory are then explained and illustrated. The final chapters cover the Landau-Ginzburg model, from physical motivation, through diagrammatic perturbation theory and renormalization to the renormalization group and the calculation of critical exponents above and below the critical temperature.
