520 __ |a This book is listed as learning field theory introduction to the core materials, few textbooks can do so right, detailed slightly proper, moderate difficulty. The concept of particle physics and field theory and critical phenomena in statistical mechanics and clever link up. The first edition has been proved to be a very useful textbook, and the Second Edition details the critical behavior of finite size scaling, general and multi coupling constants, which are valuable tools for physicists to do research. Contents (the first part) basic ideas and techniques: Theory of critical phenomena in the related concepts and ideas; function integral related to the phase change problem formula; in quantum field theory is the integral of a function; vertex function and the symmetry breaking; expansion in the number of laps and component; renormalization; reforming group and the critical region of scaling; calculation of the critical exponent; (the second part introduction; the main standard degrees outside; general review; coupling critical behavior; cross phenomenon; two-dimensional near critical phenomena; (the third part) non perturbation and numerical methods: real space methods; finite size scaling; Monte Carlo method and numerical field theory. Appendix: program case.
