Fundamental concepts of phase transitions, such as order
parameters, spontaneous symmetry breaking, scaling transformations,
conformal symmetry and anomalous dimensions, have deeply changed
the modern vision of many areas of physics, leading to remarkable
developments in statistical mechanics, elementary particle theory,
condensed matter physics and string theory. This self-contained
book provides a thorough introduction to the fascinating world of
phase transitions and frontier topics of exactly solved models in
statistical mechanics and quantum field theory, such as
renormalization groups, conformal models, quantum integrable
systems, duality, elastic S-matrices, thermodynamic Bethe ansatz
and form factor theory. The clear discussion of physical principles
is accompanied by a detailed analysis of several branches of
mathematics distinguished for their elegance and beauty, including
infinite dimensional algebras, conformal mappings, integral
equations and modular functions. Besides advanced research themes,
the book also covers many basic topics in statistical mechanics,
quantum field theory and theoretical physics. Each argument is
discussed in great detail while providing overall coherent
understanding of physical phenomena. Mathematical background is
made available in supplements at the end of each chapter, when
appropriate. The chapters include problems of different levels of
difficulty. Advanced undergraduate and graduate students will find
this book a rich and challenging source for improving their skills
and for attaining a comprehensive understanding of the many facets
of the subject.
