Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Strongly Interacting Quantum Systems out of Equilibrium written by Thierry Giamarchi and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-07-07 with total page 578 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last decade new experimental tools and theoretical concepts are providing new insights into collective nonequilibrium behavior of quantum systems. The exquisite control provided by laser trapping and cooling techniques allows us to observe the behavior of condensed bose and degenerate Fermi gases under nonequilibrium drive or after `quenches' in which a Hamiltonian parameter is suddenly or slowly changed. On the solid state front, high intensity short-time pulses and fast (femtosecond) probes allow solids to be put into highly excited states and probed before relaxation and dissipation occur. Experimental developments are matched by progress in theoretical techniques ranging from exact solutions of strongly interacting nonequilibrium models to new approaches to nonequilibrium numerics. The summer school `Strongly interacting quantum systems out of equilibrium' held at the Les Houches School of Physics as its XCIX session was designed to summarize this progress, lay out the open questions and define directions for future work. This books collects the lecture notes of the main courses given in this summer school.

Download or read book Renormalization Group written by Giuseppe Benfatto and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2020-11-10 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scaling and self-similarity ideas and methods in theoretical physics have, in the last twenty-five years, coalesced into renormalization-group methods. This book analyzes, from a single perspective, some of the most important applications: the critical-point theory in classical statistical mechanics, the scalar quantum field theories in two and three space-time dimensions, and Tomonaga's theory of the ground state of one-dimensional Fermi systems. The dimension dependence is discussed together with the related existence of anomalies (in Tomonaga's theory and in 4 -e dimensions for the critical point). The theory of Bose condensation at zero temperature in three space dimensions is also considered. Attention is focused on results that can in principle be formally established from a mathematical point of view. The 4 -e dimensions theory, Bose condensation, as well as a few other statements are exceptions to this rule, because no complete treatment is yet available. However, the truly mathematical details are intentionally omitted and only referred to. This is done with the purpose of stressing the unifying conceptual structure rather than the technical differences or subtleties.

Download or read book Introduction to Statistical Field Theory written by Edouard Brézin and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-07-22 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Knowledge of the renormalization group and field theory is a key part of physics, and is essential in condensed matter and particle physics. Written for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students, this textbook provides a concise introduction to this subject. The textbook deals directly with the loop expansion of the free energy, also known as the background field method. This is a powerful method, especially when dealing with symmetries, and statistical mechanics. In focussing on free energy, the author avoids long developments on field theory techniques. The necessity of renormalization then follows.
Download or read book Field Theory Disorder and Simulations written by Giorgio Parisi and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1992-10-09 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is a collection of lectures and selected papers by Giorgio Parisi on the subjects of Field Theory (perturbative expansions, nonperturbative phenomena and phase transitions), Disordered Systems (mainly spin glasses) and Computer Simulations (lattice gauge theories). The basic problems discussed in the Field Theory section concern the interplay between perturbation theory and nonperturbative phenomena which are present when one deals with infrared or ultraviolet divergences or with nonconvergent perturbative expansions. The section on Disordered Systems contains a complete discussion about the replica method and its probabilistic interpretation, and also includes a short paper on multifractals. In the Simulations section, there is a series of lectures devoted to the study of quantum chromodynamics and a review paper on simulations in complex systems. The works of Giorgio Parisi have repeatedly displayed a remarkable depth of originality and innovation, and have paved the way for new research in many areas. This personal selection of his lectures and papers, complete with an original introduction by him, undoubtedly serves as a vital reference book for physicists and mathematicians working in these fields.

This selection of Parisi's work … touches upon many aspects of modern theoretical physics.” “This book is a wonderful illustration of the unity and of the power of theoretical concepts in the hands of an amazingly imaginative physicist with universal interests. Very often one hears complaints about the hyperspecialization of modern science; indeed to make progress on a definite topic requires a good specialized background, but it does not prevent scientists with such a wide angle inquisitive mind to understand and contribute significantly to so many different areas. Fermi, Feynman, Landau were like that in their time; similarly Parisi has been illustrating over the last twenty years how much field theory, scaling, universality, complex systems, disordered systems …, were powerful ways of looking at science. This collection of reprints contains a good illustration of this theme, with some articles which are not readily available in standard journals, and it is thus a pleasure to welcome this new book.” ENS (France) “Parisi is the modern standard-bearer of a distinguished school of universal theorists which can be traced back to Fermi and Landau. This is not only due to the importance and originality of his scientific contributions but also for his efforts to disseminate what is known at the frontiers of knowledge to a larger audience of young physicists.” “The breadth of coverage imparts a deep understanding of stochastic phenomena, field theory and disordered systems and their interrelations.” “… a must for anyone seriously interested in field theory or the theory of disordered systems.” Physics World “Parisi, whose work spans a wide range of theoretical physics, was awarded the Boltzmann Medal in 1992 and his selection of lectures and papers will form a valuable reference for theorists working in these areas.” Contemporary Physics “This book contains some of the best lectures of Giorgio Parisi, given over the last 20 years at several schools and conferences (mainly Cargese and Les Houches), together with some research papers that are meant to complement them. The works have been selected by Parisi, who completes the book with an original introduction in which he gives reasons for the choices … a very useful collection of material by one of the most outstanding physicists of his generation. The reader will enjoy the book and learn many things, even if already acquainted with the work of the author.” Mathematical Reviews
