Statistical Physics of Fields Kardar Mehran
While many scientists are familiar with fractals, fewer are familiar with scale-invariance and universality which underlie the ubiquity of their shapes. Initial chapters connect the particulate perspective developed in the companion volume, to the coarse grained statistical fields studied here. These properties may emerge from the collective behaviour of simple fundamental constituents, and are studied using statistical field theories.
Perturbation theory, exact solutions, renormalization groups, and other tools are employed to demonstrate the emergence of scale invariance and universality, and the non-equilibrium dynamics of interfaces and directed paths in random media are discussed. Based on lectures taught by Professor Kardar at MIT, this textbook demonstrates how such theories are formulated and studied. Ideal for advanced graduate courses in statistical physics, it contains an
