"This work provides a systematic introduction to quantum field theory and renormalization group, as applied to particle physics and continuous macroscopic phase transitions."
"Theoretical physics is a cornerstone of modern physics and provides a foundation for all modern quantitative science. It aims to describe all natural phenomena using mathematical theories and models, and in consequence develops our understanding of the fundamental nature of the universe. This books offers an overview of major areas covering the recent developments in modern theoretical physics. Each chapter introduces a new key topic an ..."
"This work tries to provide an elementary introduction to the notions of continuum limit and universality in statistical systems with a large number of degrees of freedom. The existence of a continuum limit requires the appearance of correlations at large distance, a situation that is encountered in second order phase transitions, near the critical temperature. In this context, we will emphasize the role of gaussian distributions and the ..."
Path Integrals in Quantum Mechanics(1st Edition) (Oxford Graduate Texts) by JeanZinn-Justin Hardcover, 332 Pages, Published 2005 by Oxford University Press ISBN-13: 978-0-19-856674-8, ISBN: 0-19-856674-3
"The main goal of this book is to familiarize the reader with a tool, the path integral, that not only offers an alternative point of view on quantum mechanics, but more importantly, under a generalized form, has also become the key to a deeper understanding of quantum field theory and its applications, extending from particle physics to phase transitions or properties of quantum gases. Path integrals are mathematical objects that can be ..."

Quantum Field Theory and Critical Phenomena(4th Edition) (The International Series of Monographs on Physics) by JeanZinn-Justin Hardcover, 1,074 Pages, Published 2002 by Clarendon Press ISBN-13: 978-0-19-850923-3, ISBN: 0-19-850923-5
"The book is an introduction to quantum field theory and renormalization group.It shows that these frameworks are essential for the understanding of phenomena belonging to many different areas of physics, which range from phase transitions in macroscopic systems to the theory of fundamental interactions. This advanced new edition is based on graduate courses and summer schools given by the author over a number of years. Although there ar ..."
"The understanding of phase transitions has long been a fundamental problem of statistical mechanics. It has made spectac ular progress during the last few years, largely because of the ideas of K.G. Wilson, in applying to an apparently quite different domain the methods of the renormalization group, which had been developped in the framework of the quantum theory of fields. The ability of these theoretical methods to lead to very preci ..."

"Quantum field theory has become the framework for the discussion of all fundamental interactions except gravity, and for the understanding of second order phase transitions in statistical mechanics. This advanced text for theoretical particle physicists and statistical physicists has been updated to reflect the improved presentation that has resulted from the author's experience in teaching graduate courses. It approaches the subject in ..."

"Over the last twenty years quantum field theory has become not only the framework for the discussion of all fundamental interactions (except gravitation) but also for the understanding of second-order phase transitions in statistical mechanics. This advanced volume is based on graduate courses and summer schools given over a number of years by the author. It approaches the subject in terms of path and functional integrals. A Euclidean ..."
"One of the greatest challenges that theoretical physics faces at the end of the century is to blend together the two revolutions of the beginning of the century, namely general relativity and quantum mechanics. One message that has become clear from the start and is common to both revolutions is that there is no limit to the level of sophistication of mathematics that will become essential to physics. This book comprises the lecture no ..."
"Block20 noticed that, unlike the three cubic lattices, the coefficients of the low
temperature series were all positive. To facilitate the analysis of the low
temperature series requires an accurate estimate of the critical point and this is
usually provided by analysis of the high temperature susceptibility series.
Consequently, Essam and Sykes?l, followed by Gaunt and Sykes"?, calculated
