Conformal Invariance and Critical Phenomena
ISBN: 9783642084669 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 418 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Critical phenomena arise in a wide variety of physical systems. Classi- cal examples are the liquid-vapour critical point or the paramagnetic- ferromagnetic transition. Further examples include multicomponent fluids and alloys, superfluids, superconductors, polymers and fully developed tur- bulence and may even extend to the quark-gluon plasma and the early uni- verse as a whole. Early theoretical investigators tried to reduce the problem to a very small number of degrees of freedom, such as the van der Waals equation and mean field approximations, culminating in Landau's general theory of...

Non-Equilibrium Phase Transitions: Volume 2: Ageing and Dynamical Scaling Far from Equilibrium
ISBN: 9789401783729 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 544 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. The importance of knowledge consists not only in its direct practical utility but also in the fact the it promotes a widely contemplative habit of mind; on this ground, utility is to be found in much of the knowledge that is nowadays labelled useless . Bertrand Russel, In Praise of Idleness, London (1935) Why are scientists in so many cases so deeply interested in their work ? Is it merely because it is useful ? It is only necessary to talk to such scientists to discover that the utilitarian possibilities of their work are generally of secondary interest to them. Something else is primary....

Introduction to Conformal Invariance and Its Applications to Critical Phenomena
ISBN: 9783662139226 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. The history of critical phenomena goes back to the year 1869 when Andrews discovered the critical point of carbon dioxide, located at about 31 C and 73 atmospheres pressure. In the neighborhood ofthis point the carbon dioxide was observed to become opalescent, that is, light is strongly scattered. This is nowadays interpreted as comingfrom the strong fluctuations of the system close to the critical point. Subsequently, a wide varietyofphysicalsystems were realized to display critical points as well. Ofparticular importance was the observation of a critical point in ferromagnetic iron by...

Conformal Invariance: an Introduction to Loops, Interfaces and Stochastic Loewner Evolution
ISBN: 9783642279331 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 189 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Conformal invariance has been a spectacularly successful tool in advancing our understanding of the two-dimensional phase transitions found in classical systems at equilibrium. This volume sharpens our picture of the applications of conformal invariance, introducing non-local observables such as loops and interfaces before explaining how they arise in specific physical contexts. It then shows how to use conformal invariance to determine their properties.
Moving on to cover key conceptual developments in conformal invariance, the book devotes much of its space to stochastic... Conformal invariance has been a spectacularly successful tool in advancing our understanding of the two-dimensional phase transitions found in clas... |

Ageing and the Glass Transition
ISBN: 9783642089121 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 349 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Understanding cooperative phenomena far from equilibrium is one of the fascinating challenges of present-day many-body physics. Glassy behaviour and the physical ageing process of such materials are paradigmatic examples. The present volume, primarily intended as introduction and reference, collects six extensive lectures addressing selected experimental and theoretical issues in the field of glassy systems. Understanding cooperative phenomena far from equilibrium is one of the fascinating challenges of present-day many-body physics. Glassy behaviour an... |
