Field Theory, The Renormalization Group And Critical Phenomena (2nd Edition) by Daniel J Amit Pdf

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. 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.

Field Theory, The Renormalization Group, And Critical Phenomena: Graphs To Computers (3rd Edition) by Daniel J Amit,Victor Martin-mayor Pdf

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

The Theory of Critical Phenomena by J. J. Binney,N. J. Dowrick,A. J. Fisher,M. E. J. Newman Pdf

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.

Introduction to the Theory of Critical Phenomena by Dimo I Uzunov Pdf

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.

Introduction to Renormalization Group Methods in Physics by Richard J. Creswick,Horacio A. Farach,Charles P. Poole Pdf

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.

The Field Theoretic Renormalization Group in Critical Behavior Theory and Stochastic Dynamics by A.N. Vasil'ev Pdf

This volume provides a general field-theoretical picture of critical phenomena and stochastic dynamics and helps readers develop a practical skill for calculations. This education on the practical skill sets this book apart: it is the first to give a full technical introduction to the field. Both general ideas and ...hard... calculations are presented here. This text can also serve as an ideal reference on applications of Quantum Field Theory (QFT). The author gives a comprehensive treatment of the subject, but in a manner easily understood by anyone familiar with the basic of statistical physics. Both students and working scientists can benefit from this text. OTI £1 C2417

Quantum Field Theory and Critical Phenomena by Jean Zinn-Justin Pdf

Describes particle physics and critical phenomena in statistical mechanics in a unified framework, incorporating graduate lecture notes from the 1970s and 1980s at several universities in Europe and the US. Deals with general field theory, functional integrals, and functional methods; renormalization properties of theories with symmetries and specific applications to particle physics; lattice gauge theories and asymptotic freedom in four dimensions; and the role of instantons and the application of instanton calculus to the large-order behavior of perturbation theory and the problem of summation of the perturbative expansion. Several chapters close with exercise, solutions or hints for which are provided. No dates are noted for the previous editions. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
