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 …

The author reviews in a pedagogical fashion some of the recent developments in lattice
quantum chromodynamics. This review emphasizes explicit examples and illustrations …

Simple random walks-or equivalently, sums of independent random vari ables-have long
been a standard topic of probability theory and mathemat ical physics. In the 1950s, non …

A stability theo~ is presente~ w~ ich describes the conditions under which thin films rupture.
I tis found that holes 10 the film will either grow or shrink, depending on whether their initial …

An exactly solvable model of the crystal-vacuum interface is constructed which exhibits a
roughening transition. The model is obtained as a special limit of a ferromagnetic Ising …

In this article we discuss from a microscopic point of view theories for the transfer of material
from a fluid to a crystalline phase. We emphasize the processes occurring in the interfacial …

An exactly solvable modification of the planar Ising ferromagnet is proposed which has a
roughening transition below the Curie temperature. The computation confirms the de …

We analyse the space dependence of the expectation value of the chromo-electric energy
density in the presence of a static quark-antiquark pair by means of the strong coupling …

The behavior of the interface in the three-dimensional (3-D) Ising and related lattice systems
is modeled using a 2-D array of columns of varying heights. We show that the" roughening" …
