Statistical Physics: Statics, Dynamics And Renormalization Paperback / softback
by Leo P (The Univ Of Chicago, Usa) Kadanoff
Paperback / softback
Description
The material presented in this invaluable textbook has been tested in two courses.
One of these is a graduate-level survey of statistical physics; the other, a rather personal perspective on critical behavior.
Thus, this book defines a progression starting at the book-learning part of graduate education and ending in the midst of topics at the research level.
To supplement the research-level side the book includes some research papers.
Several of these are classics in the field, including a suite of six works on self-organized criticality and complexity, a pair on diffusion-limited aggregation, some papers on correlations near critical points, a few of the basic sources on the development of the real-space renormalization group, and several papers on magnetic behavior in a plain geometry.
In addition, the author has included a few of his own papers.
