Theory of dynamic critical phenomena

PC Hohenberg, BI Halperin - Reviews of Modern Physics, 1977 - APS
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 …

Equilibrium and nonequilibrium formalisms made unified

K Chou, Z Su, B Hao, L Yu - Physics Reports, 1985 - Elsevier
In this paper we summarize the work done by our group in develo** and applying the
closed time-path Green function (C1'PGF) formalism, first suggested by J. Schwinger and …

Critical exponents from field theory

JC Le Guillou, J Zinn-Justin - Physical Review B, 1980 - APS
We present a detailed study of the methods of summation based on Borel transformation
and conformal map**, which we have used to calculate critical exponents of the n-vector …

On the phase structure of vector-like gauge theories with massless fermions

T Banks, A Zaks - Nuclear Physics B, 1982 - Elsevier
We present a systematic expansion for studying an infrared-stable fixed point of gauge
theories with massless fermions. These results are combined with information from strong …

The pivot algorithm: A highly efficient Monte Carlo method for the self-avoiding walk

N Madras, AD Sokal - Journal of Statistical Physics, 1988 - Springer
The pivot algorithm is a dynamic Monte Carlo algorithm, first invented by Lal, which
generates self-avoiding walks (SAWs) in a canonical (fixed-N) ensemble with free endpoints …

Critical Exponents for the -Vector Model in Three Dimensions from Field Theory

JC Le Guillou, J Zinn-Justin - Physical Review Letters, 1977 - APS
We present a new calculation of the critical exponents of the n-vector model through field-
theoretical methods. The coefficients of the renormalization functions of the (ϕ→ 2) 2 theory …

Field-theory renormalization and critical dynamics above : Helium, antiferromagnets, and liquid-gas systems

C De Dominicis, L Peliti - Physical Review B, 1978 - APS
Abstract The Martin-Siggia-Rose field theories associated with the critical dynamics of mode-
coupling systems, are renormalized in a way which decouples statics from dynamics …

The electrical conductivity of binary disordered systems, percolation clusters, fractals and related models

JP Clerc, G Giraud, JM Laugier, JM Luck - Advances in Physics, 1990 - Taylor & Francis
We review theoretical and experimental studies of the AC dielectric response of
inhomogeneous materials, modelled as bond percolation networks, with a binary (conductor …

Spontaneous breakdown of continuous symmetries near two dimensions

E Brézin, J Zinn-Justin - Physical Review B, 1976 - APS
The long-distance properties of classical Heisenberg ferromagnets below the transition point
are related to a continuous-field theory, the nonlinear σ model. The renormalizability of this …

Finite size effects in phase transitions

E Brézin, J Zinn-Justin - Nuclear Physics B, 1985 - Elsevier
We develop a systematic approach to the calculations of finite size effects in phase
transitions. The method consists of constructing an effective hamiltonian for the …
