Field Theory, The Renormalization Group, And Critical Phenomena: Graphs To Computers (3rd Edition)

Daniel J Amit (Univ Degli Studi Di Roma La Sapienza , Italy),Victor Martin-mayor (Univ Complutense De Madrid, Spain)

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 Methods II. Finite Size Scaling III. Monte Carlo Methods. Numerical Field Theory
