At present, existing literature on this subject matter can only be said to relate in minor areas to this work. Important concepts in statistical mechanics, such as frustration, localization, Lifshitz and Griffiths singularities, multicritical points, modulated phases, superselection sectors, spontaneous symmetry breaking and the Haldane phase, strange attractors and the Hausdorff dimension, and many others, are illustrated by exactly soluble lattice models. There are examples of simple lattice models which are shown to give rise to spectacular phase diagrams, with multicritical points and sequences of modulated phases. The models are chosen to enable a concise exposition as well as a connection with real physical systems (as dilute antiferromagnets, spin glasses and modulated magnets). A brief introduction to the properties of dynamical systems, an overview of conformal invariance and the Bethe Ansatz and a discussion of some general methods of statistical mechanics related to spontaneous symmetry breaking, are included in the appendices. A number of exercises are included in the text to help the comprehension of the most representative issues.

This volume contains the proceedings of the conference on 'Exactly Soluble Models in Statistical Mechanics: Historical Perspectives and Current Status', held at Northeastern University in March 1996 — the first ever conference to deal exclusively with this topic. Besides invited presentations by leading researchers in the field, the conference held a session of contributed papers by participants from throughout the world. The proceedings, which include both the invited and the contributed papers, reflect the broad range of interest in exactly soluble models as well as the diverse fields in physics and mathematics that they connect. Apart from providing concise and timely reviews, the papers in this volume give a snapshot of the current state of affairs. The topics covered range from a historical survey of the field (by E H Lieb) to the latest formulation of a star-star transformation of spin models (by R J Baxter).

Chaos: from simple models to complex systems aims to guide science and engineering students through chaos and nonlinear dynamics from classical examples to the most recent fields of research. The first part, intended for undergraduate and graduate students, is a gentle and self-contained introduction to the concepts and main tools for the characterization of deterministic chaotic systems, with emphasis to statistical approaches. The second part can be used as a reference by researchers as it focuses on more advanced topics including the characterization of chaos with tools of information theory and applications encompassing fluid and celestial mechanics, chemistry and biology. The book is novel in devoting attention to a few topics often overlooked in introductory textbooks and which are usually found only in advanced surveys such as: information and algorithmic complexity theory applied to chaos and generalization of Lyapunov exponents to account for spatiotemporal and non-infinitesimal perturbations. The selection of topics, numerous illustrations, exercises and proposals for computer experiments make the book ideal for both introductory and advanced courses. Sample Chapter(s). Introduction (164 KB). Chapter 1: First Encounter with Chaos (1,323 KB). Contents: First Encounter with Chaos; The Language of Dynamical Systems; Examples of Chaotic Behaviors; Probabilistic Approach to Chaos; Characterization of Chaotic Dynamical Systems; From Order to Chaos in Dissipative Systems; Chaos in Hamiltonian Systems; Chaos and Information Theory; Coarse-Grained Information and Large Scale Predictability; Chaos in Numerical and Laboratory Experiments; Chaos in Low Dimensional Systems; Spatiotemporal Chaos; Turbulence as a Dynamical System Problem; Chaos and Statistical Mechanics: Fermi-Pasta-Ulam a Case Study.

The purpose of this book is to present systematically all known mathematical results on Gibbs measures on Cayley trees (Bethe lattices). The Gibbs measure is a probability measure, which has been an important object in many problems of probability theory and statistical mechanics. It is the measure associated with the Hamiltonian of a physical system (a model) and generalizes the notion of a canonical ensemble. More importantly, when the Hamiltonian can be written as a sum of parts, the Gibbs measure has the Markov property (a certain kind of statistical independence), thus leading to its widespread appearance in many problems outside of physics such as biology, Hopfield networks, Markov networks, and Markov logic networks. Moreover, the Gibbs measure is the unique measure that maximizes the entropy for a given expected energy. The method used for the description of Gibbs measures on Cayley trees is the method of Markov random field theory and recurrent equations of this theory, but the modern theory of Gibbs measures on trees uses new tools such as group theory, information flows on trees, node-weighted random walks, contour methods on trees, and nonlinear analysis. This book discusses all the mentioned methods, which were developed recently. Contents:Group Representation of the Cayley TreeIsing Model on the Cayley TreeIsing Type Models with Competing InteractionsInformation Flow on TreesThe Potts ModelThe Solid-on-Solid ModelModels with Hard ConstraintsPotts Model with Countable Set of Spin ValuesModels with Uncountable Set of Spin ValuesContour Arguments on Cayley TreesOther Models Readership: Researchers in mathematical physics, statistical physics, probability and measure theory. Keywords:Cayley Tree;Configuration;Hamiltonian;Temperature;Gibbs MeasureKey Features:The book is for graduate, post-graduate students and researchers. This is the first book concerning Gibbs measures on Cayley treesIt can be used to teach special courses like “Gibbs measures on countable graphs”, “Models of statistical physics”, “Phase transitions and thermodynamics” and many related coursesReviews: “The extensive commentaries and references which follow are as valuable as the mathematical text. At the end of each chapter, the author gives extensive commentaries and a list of references to the literature, including very recent ones. The reader may find useful and insightful open problems concluding the end of each chapter. The book is written from the mathematician's point of view and its addressees are professionals in statistical mechanics and mathematical physics.” Zentralblatt MATH

The aim of this advanced textbook is to provide the reader with a comprehensive explanation of the ground state configurations, the spin wave excitations and the equilibrium properties of spin lattices described by the Ising–Heisenberg Hamiltonians in the presence of short (exchange) and long range (dipole) interactions. The arguments are presented in such detail so as to enable advanced undergraduate and graduate students to cross the threshold of active research in magnetism by using both analytic calculations and Monte Carlo simulations. Recent results about unorthodox spin configurations such as stripes and checkerboards should then excite theoreticians in the field of magnetism and magnetic materials research. Contents:Magnetic HamiltoniansSpin Waves in FerromagnetsInteracting Spin Waves in FerromagnetsFeynman Diagrams Expansion in FerromagnetsTwo-Magnon Bound States in FerromagnetsPerturbation Theory in Planar FerromagnetsSpin Waves in Non-Collinear SystemsSpin Waves in MultilayersSpin Waves in Systems with Long Range InteractionLong Range Interactions in 2D Systems Readership: Students and professionals interested in the fields of theoretical magnetism and magnetic material research. Keywords:Spin Waves;Many-Body Theory in Magnetism;Two-Magnon Bound States;Helix Spin Configurations;Stripe and Checkerboard Spin ConfigurationsKey Features:Many-body theory applied to magnetic insulators: the Green function approach is compared to the Feynman diagram expansionTwo spin wave deviations from clusters to thermodynamic limitStripe and checkerboard configurationsReviews: “The book combining the modern problems of statistical mechanics, directed to the study of magnetic excitations in different systems, with strict mathematical statement and the solution of the corresponding problems will be very useful for undergraduate and graduate students studying the magnetism problems, and also for theoreticians researching magnetism and magnetic materials.” Zentralblatt MATH

This book aims to provide a compact and unified introduction to the most important aspects in the physics of non-equilibrium systems. It first introduces stochastic processes and some modern tools and concepts that have proved their usefulness to deal with non-equilibrium systems from a purely probabilistic angle. The aim is to show the important role played by fluctuations in far-from-equilibrium situations, where noise can promote order and organization, switching among non-equilibrium states, etc. The second part adopts a more historical perspective, retracing the first steps taken from the purely thermodynamic as well as from the kinetic points of view to depart (albeit slightly) from equilibrium. The third part revisits the path outlined in the first one, but now undertakes the mesoscopic description of extended systems, where new phenomena (patterns, long-range correlations, scaling far from equilibrium, etc.) are observed. This book is a revised and extended version of an earlier edition published in 1994. It includes topics of current research interest in far-from-equilibrium situations like noise-induced phenomena and free energy-like functionals, surface growth and roughening, etc. It can be used as an advanced textbook by graduate students in physics. It also covers topics of current interest in other disciplines and interdisciplinary approaches in engineering, biophysics, and economics, among others. The level of detail in the book is enough to capture the interest of the reader and facilitate the path to more learning by exploring the modern research literature provided. At the same time, the book is also complete enough to be self-contained for those readers who just need an overview of the subject.

This book utilizes non-equilibrium thermodynamics to describe transport in complex, heterogeneous media. There are large coupling effects between transport of heat, mass, charge and chemical reactions at surfaces, and it is important to know how one should properly integrate across systems where different phases are in contact. There is no other book available today that gives a prescription of how to set up flux equations for transports across heterogeneous systems.

The purpose of this book is to encourage the use of non-equilibrium thermodynamics to describe transport in complex, heterogeneous media. With large coupling effects between the transport of heat, mass, charge and chemical reactions at surfaces, it is important to know how one should properly integrate across systems where different phases are in contact. No other book gives a prescription of how to set up flux equations for transports across heterogeneous systems. The authors apply the thermodynamic description in terms of excess densities, developed by Gibbs for equilibrium, to non-equilibrium systems. The treatment is restricted to transport into and through the surface. Using local equilibrium together with the balance equations for the surface, expressions for the excess entropy production of the surface and of the contact line are derived. Many examples are given to illustrate how the theory can be applied to coupled transport of mass, heat, charge and chemical reactions; in phase transitions, at electrode surfaces and in fuel cells. Molecular simulations and analytical studies are used to add insight. Sample Chapter(s). Chapter 1: Scope (169 KB). Contents: General Theory: The Entropy Production for a Homogeneous Phase: The Excess Entropy Production for the Surface; Flux Equations and Onsager Relations; Transport of Heat and Mass; Transport of Mass and Charge; Applications: Evaporation and Condensation; A Nonisothermal Concentration Cell; Adiabatic Electrode Reactions; The Formation Cell; Modeling the Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cell; The Impedance of an Electrode Surface; The Non-Equilibrium Two-Phase van der Waals Model; and other chapters. Readership: Graduate students, researchers, lecturers and professionals in physics, nanoscience and surface science.

The main theme of the book is the intimate connection between the two families of exactly solvable models: the inverse-square exchange (ISE) and the nearest-neighbor exchange (NNE) models. The latter are better known as the Bethe-Ansatz solvable models and include the Heisenberg spin chain, t–J models and Hubbard models. The former, the Calogero–Sutherland family of models, are simple to solve and contain essentially the same physics as the NNE family. The author introduces and discusses current topics, such as the Luttinger liquid concept, fractional statistics, and spin–charge separation, in the context of the explicit models.
