Critical phenomena and renormalization-group theory

A Pelissetto, E Vicari - Physics Reports, 2002 - Elsevier
We review results concerning the critical behavior of spin systems at equilibrium. We
consider the Ising and the general O (N)-symmetric universality classes, including the N→ 0 …

Non-perturbative renormalization flow in quantum field theory and statistical physics

J Berges, N Tetradis, C Wetterich - Physics Reports, 2002 - Elsevier
We review the use of an exact renormalization group equation in quantum field theory and
statistical physics. It describes the dependence of the free energy on an infrared cutoff for the …

DJ Amit, V Martin-Mayor - 2005 - books.google.com
This volume links field theory methods and concepts from particle physics with those in
critical phenomena and statistical mechanics, the development starting from the latter point …

[BOOK][B] Critical Properties of [Greek Letter Phi] 4-theories

H Kleinert, V Schulte-Frohlinde - 2001 - books.google.com
This book explains in detail how to perform perturbation expansions in quantum field theory
to high orders, and how to extract the critical properties of the theory from the resulting …

Critical exponents of the N-vector model

R Guida, J Zinn-Justin - Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and …, 1998 - iopscience.iop.org
Recently the series for two renormalization group functions (corresponding to the
anomalous dimensions of the fields and) of the three-dimensional field theory have been …

Critical exponents and equation of state of the three-dimensional Heisenberg universality class

M Campostrini, M Hasenbusch, A Pelissetto, P Rossi… - Physical Review B, 2002 - APS
We improve the theoretical estimates of the critical exponents for the three-dimensional
Heisenberg universality class. We find γ= 1.3960 (9), ν= 0.7112 (5), η= 0.0375 (5), α …

Worm algorithms for classical statistical models

N Prokof'ev, B Svistunov - Physical review letters, 2001 - APS
We show that high-temperature expansions provide a basis for the novel approach to
efficient Monte Carlo simulations.“Worm” algorithms utilize the idea of updating closed-path …

Critical behavior of the three-dimensional universality class

M Campostrini, M Hasenbusch, A Pelissetto, P Rossi… - Physical Review B, 2001 - APS
We improve the theoretical estimates of the critical exponents for the three-dimensional XY
universality class. We find α=− 0.0146 (8), γ= 1.3177 (5), ν= 0.671 55 (27), η= 0.0380 (4), β …

The Universality class of the electroweak theory

K Rummukainen, M Tsypin, K Kajantie, M Laine… - Nuclear Physics B, 1998 - Elsevier
We study the universality class and critical properties of the electroweak theory at finite
temperature. Such critical behaviour is found near the endpoint mH= mH, c of the line of first …

Magnetic and non-magnetic phases of a quantum spin liquid

FL Pratt, PJ Baker, SJ Blundell, T Lancaster… - Nature, 2011 - nature.com
A quantum spin-liquid phase is an intriguing possibility for a system of strongly interacting
magnetic units in which the usual magnetically ordered ground state is avoided owing to …
