The renormalization group plays an essential role in many areas of physics, both
conceptually and as a practical tool to determine the long-distance low-energy properties of …

An introductory review of the central ideas in the modern theory of dynamic critical
phenomena is followed by a more detailed account of recent developments in the field. The …

This textbook presents a modern account of turbulence, one of the greatest challenges in
physics. The state-of-the-art is put into historical perspective five centuries after the first …

The subject of this paper is the evolution of Brownian particles in disordered environments.
The “Ariadne's clew” we follow is understanding of the general statistical mechanisms which …

The purpose of the present chapter is twofold: first, to review the experiments carried out so
far to test the theoretical predictions concerning noise-induced transitions. Second, we shall …

The physics of non-equilibrium many-body systems is a rapidly expanding area of
theoretical physics. Traditionally employed in laser physics and superconducting kinetics …

The field of phase transitions and critical phenomena continues to be active in research,
producing a steady stream of interesting and fruitful results. It has moved into a central place …

Recent experimental developments in diverse areas—ranging from cold atomic gases to
light-driven semiconductors to microcavity arrays—move systems into the focus which are …
